Driving distracted is just as dangerous as driving under the influence, yet so many of us openly engage in one or more distracted behaviors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Distracted Driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Distracted driving is any activity that diverts a driver\u2019s attention away from the road. It can be classified into four categories: visual, manual, auditory, and cognitive. Here are some of the most common forms of distracted driving:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>Sending a text message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Talking on a cell phone or to passengers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Holding your phone or device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Browsing the internet or social media<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating and drinking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applying makeup or personal grooming<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusting the radio or music<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a navigation system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reaching into the back or searching for something<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looking out the window<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Preventing Distracted Driving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dklaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1045979216.jpg\" alt=\"Uninsured motorist clause on policy with pen\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways we can all be better drivers, including following safe driving practices, respecting laws, and encouraging others to do the same. Here are 10 ways you can honor Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Apply these safety tips all year long!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep your phone out of sight\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless it\u2019s an emergency (and in that case, you should pull over), keep your phone stowed away in the glove compartment or out of your line of vision. Set your phone to \u201cDo Not Disturb\u201d mode or use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/safe-driving-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0one of these safe driving apps<\/a>\u00a0to avoid getting distracted by texts, calls, and notifications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pull over safely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you absolutely must use your phone to call someone, pull over in a safe location. Pulling over on a busy road can be dangerous, so make sure you do so safely by pulling over as far from oncoming traffic as you can on the right shoulder and putting on your hazards. In California, it is illegal to stop on a freeway in a non-emergency, so exit the freeway if you need to make a call.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Follow the S-M-A-R-T method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teen drivers are at a much higher risk of driving distracted. Out of teens ages 15-20 who were involved in fatal crashes, 7% were reported as distracted, the largest of any age group. If you are a parent of a teen driver, encourage them to follow the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mottchildren.org\/posts\/your-child\/smart-tips-preventing-distracted-driving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;\u201cS-M-A-R-T\u201d method<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow-list\">\n<li>(S)tay focused on driving<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(M)ake preparations before you begin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(A)void all other activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(R)ely on passengers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>(T)ext or talk later \u2013 leave your phone alone!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Secure children and pets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Small children or pets can be a huge driver distraction. Before you start driving, safely secure children and pets in the back seat. All children under 8 years of age are\u00a0required\u00a0to be secured in an appropriate\u00a0<a href=\"\/the-fine-print\/safety-first-everything-you-need-to-know-about-child-seat-safety\/\">car seat or booster seat<\/a>. Additionally, all children under 13 years old should ride in the back seat. While it is not required by law to secure pets, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) recommends keeping animals away from the driver\u2019s seat and secured in a kennel or cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ask passengers for help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have passengers in the car, ask them for help navigating, adjusting music or climate controls, and responding to important texts or calls. However, limit your conversations, as they can be very distracting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Know the state laws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In California, it is&nbsp;illegal&nbsp;to text or use a handheld device while driving or stopped at a red light. However, it is legal to use a hands-free device. Young drivers face the strictest laws \u2013 all drivers under the age of 18 are banned from using any device while driving, handheld or hands-free. If you are caught texting or using a handheld device while driving, you will face a minimum fine of $162 with increased penalties for subsequent offenses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Plan your route ahead of time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, using a handheld device while driving is illegal in California. Even using your phone to input directions is against the law. Before you head out, set up your GPS to minimize the need for adjustments while driving. You are allowed to use a hands-free voice-operated GPS while driving. Make sure the device is mounted on your dashboard or in your car\u2019s center console.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Don\u2019t multitask\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi-tasking is a\u00a0<a href=\"\/the-fine-print\/myths-about-distracted-driving\/\">myth<\/a>. Many studies have shown that our brains are not wired to do more than one thing at a time. So if you think it\u2019s totally safe to talk on your hands-free phone while driving, think again. Eating a snack, glancing out the window, or searching for an item takes your mind and eyes off the road, increasing the chance of an accident.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Report a distracted driver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see a distracted or reckless driver putting others in danger, pull over safely and dial 9-1-1 to reach the California Highway Patrol. Make sure to tell the officer the driver\u2019s dangerous actions, the make, model, color, and license plate number of the car, the driver\u2019s physical characteristics, and the location where you witnessed the incident. You can also report a reckless driver to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/driver-education-and-safety\/educational-materials\/fast-facts\/potentially-unsafe-driver-ffdl-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;DMV<\/a>&nbsp;as a potentially unsafe driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Keep your cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re driving to work or heading on a trip, you are likely to encounter all kinds of drivers on the road. Stay calm and focus on driving. You should also avoid driving while upset, angry, or stressed. If you find your mind wandering or you\u2019re feeling drowsy, take a break and get back on the road when you feel more prepared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"dklaw-toc__block align wp-block-dklaw-toc-block\"><div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Distracted Driving Incidents: How We Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you find these safety tips useful.
