According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about one quarter of all traffic accidents are attributed to driver distractions. Some of the most common distractions while driving include:

• Glancing at an accident, a vehicle pulled over by law enforcement, a billboard or just a scenic view.
• Using/dialing your mobile phone.
• Eating and/or drinking.
• Adjusting the climate control.
• Operating radio/cassette/CD player.
• Smoking.
• Personal grooming.
• Moving object in the vehicle (such as an insect).

Remember that driving a car is a serious responsibility that requires your full attention. You should always be aware of the traffic around you, and try to minimize your distractions by simply using common sense and good judgment.
