FAQs

Which four types of distracted driving are covered?

Learners are taught that the four categories of distraction are visual (eyes off the road), auditory (affecting hearing), manual (hands off the wheel), and cognitive (mental focus away from driving).

What makes texting considered so dangerous compared to other distractions?

In practical terms, texting is a "triple threat" because it requires your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel, and your mental attention away from the task of driving all at once.

Is it safe to use a hands-free device while driving?

No, hands-free is not risk-free; complex phone conversations cause a cognitive distraction that shifts your mental focus away from the road and possible hazards.

In what way does speed affect the danger of a visual distraction?

Learners are taught that at highway speeds, looking away from the road for five seconds to check a notification is the equivalent of driving the entire length of a football field with your eyes closed.

What should I do if I am a passenger and the driver is distracted?

In practical terms, you are expected to speak up and offer to help with directions or the phone, and ask them to stop the distracting behavior because their safety is important to you.
