The majority of drivers underestimate the power
of distractions. They are confident in their
driving skills and believe that they are safe on
the road. However, judging by statistics, almost

cell phones at some point while driving.

It is Easy To Get Distracted

• You are driving, when suddenly, your phone starts
  ringing. You answer the call, and before you know
  it, you are already way deep into the
  conversation with your best friend about an event
  that took place yesterday. You may not notice it
  at the time, but even though your eyes may be on
  the road, your brain will be somewhere else.

Adjusting The Music
Got bored of the radio? You turned on your phone
and played your favorite song. You increased the
volume and started singing along. At this point,
you do not hear your cars engine, you do not
hear incoming cars or anything else that is
happening outside of your car. In addition, music
creates a distraction for the brain. You will not
be focused on the road anymore and the loud music
will cause you to become distracted and
potentially end up in a car accident.

The largest group of people who use their cell
phones while driving are teenagers. The same

groups involved in car accidents. Almost 35

were teenagers.
