4 of the Worst Distractions While Driving in California

Every day we juggle several tasks. Sending some work emails while you make breakfast or taking the dog out as you brush your teeth are perfect examples of multitasking time management. However, the car is one place where you should never multitask.  When you are behind the wheel, you owe a responsibility to other drivers and yourself. Your health and safety are your main priority, and when you are unfocused, you risk causing a horrible accident.

Distracted driving is a leading cause of fatalities and severe accidents in today’s society. Any behavior or activity that takes the driver’s attention away from piloting the car is considered distracted driving. If you are injured due to someone’s disregard for your safety on the road, you can seek to recover compensation for the losses you incur in the accident.

What Are 4 of the Worst Distractions While Driving in California?

There never seems to be enough time in the day for all of our tasks. However, distracted driving does more harm than good and can cost someone their life. Passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers can all suffer from the effects of someone choosing to partake in reckless activity. The following are a few examples of some of the worst distractions to drivers in California.

Eating and Drinking

As tempting as it is to eat your McDonalds fries while you drive home from work, taking your hands off the wheel and looking into the crumpled bag are big distractions. It is not an uncommon occurrence, and when you are in traffic, your hunger can start to sway your decisions. It is important to realize that your safety and the safety of those around you can be jeopardized by your decision to eat while driving.

Fiddling with the Music

Trying to find a good radio station or your favorite Spotify playlist is an extremely dangerous action if you do so while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. Before you start driving, find your radio station or playlist so that while you are driving, you are not distracted and looking down from the road.

Looking at a Phone

One message from a friend can be enough to take your attention away from the road and cause a life-threatening accident. Texting or calling someone on the phone can not only take your eyes off the road but continue to have your mind wander while you are conversing with your friend.

Other Passengers

When you have other people in the car, they will ask you questions or even take your eyes away from the road. Whether you are going out with friends or taking your children to their soccer game, there are many ways they can draw your attention away from the road.

An accident can happen without a moment’s notice and affect you for the rest of your life. If you were in an accident and suffered severe injuries, contact a car accident lawyer as soon as possible. With legal help from those who understand the law, you will feel confident in your legal representation.
