Most of the young drivers use the car as a nightclub, cloakroom, dining room. But over the years, they realize that driving a vehicle requires close attention. Everyone already knows that drivers in the 18-23 age category are several times more prone to accidents than more experienced drivers. This is due to the frivolity of behavior on the road, lack of experience.
In total, there are ten reasons that distract the driver from driving safely:
1) Chatting while driving with friends
Young drivers who drive in a company with their friends and acquaintances are more likely to get into an accident than when driving alone. After all, the driver has to be distracted by conversations, losing concentration on the road.
2) Talking on a mobile phone
Even if you have a headset, it is better to move the conversation until later. The ideal option is to park and talk. It has long been proven that talking on a cell phone distracts the driver from the road.
3) Dialing SMS messages while driving
It is not a good idea to print short SMS messages stating that you have bought size 15 discs while driving. Both hands must be on the steering wheel in order to always be able to react to the traffic situation.
4) Listening to your favorite music
Listening to your favorite music while driving is just a pleasure. But the fact that to tune in to your favorite radio station, change the CD disc, find the same song, has a strong enough effect on the accident rate on the road. It is worth preparing your favorite discs, songs, radio station in advance.
5) eating and driving
It often happens that there is not enough time to grab a bite, so drivers visit fast food eateries in order to grab a hamburger with juice and have a quick bite while driving. Still, it is worth stopping and not having a quick snack while driving. This not only distracts the driver, but is also harmful to the body.
6) Move to music
Every driver has at least once felt the rhythm of the music, accompanying it with movements and voice. Such actions can put any driver at risk, since the driver cannot adequately react to the traffic situation at this moment in time. It is worth listening to music at a reasonable volume.
7) Active tuning of the car while driving
Do not program the car while driving. Distracting from the road by the buttons, the driver can get into the worst accident... Any functions should be configured in advance.
8) Nerves are the enemy of the driver
When a driver is angry or upset, he or she responds inadequately to everything around him. Many people press more gas or behave aggressively on the road. To prevent unpleasant situations on the road, it is better to refrain from driving during such a period of life.
9) Disorientation
Reading map routes with one hand on the steering wheel can be dangerous. It is better for the driver to stop and get familiar with the route.
10) Makeup
This reason applies more to girls. Do not paint while driving - it can become dangerous for both the driver and the surrounding traffic participants.
