Distracted drivers can always cause a traffic problems and road accidents. There is lots of distraction on the road that includes traffics.

Drivers nowadays are struggling with new affordable technologies like smart phones, music players and other electronic devices which can cause as a distraction.

A list below of the most causes of distractions that most drivers encounter:

Mobile Phones (texting and talking)

Using cell phones especially texting while driving can increase the chance of having a car crashes by four times, as stated in many studies.

A driver is not allowed to use a mobile phone including hands-free while driving. He/she may only use it to make or receive a call or use the music player of the phone is secured in a fixed operating position.

All other usage of a mobile phone suck as video messaging, chatting online and emailing are strictly not permitted. The new order regarding this matter tells that a driver in a moving or motionless vehicle (unless parked) should not use or hold a phone in his/her hand other than handing over the phone to a passenger.

Modifying the car settings

This the most usual bad practice that many drivers do because they are not fully aware that it is more like to cause harm to touch the radio, windows or anything inside the vehicle while driving.

Commander Chief Superintendent Jon Hartley states that “crashes often occur as a result of only a moment’s inattention.”

Passengers

It is given that teenage drivers have a higher possibility of car collisions when they have friends inside the car.

There is more chance of causing a fatal crash when you have two or more friends in the car, mostly male passengers. But the risk is decreased when having an adult of a child, contrast with no passengers.

Eating and Drinking

Eating, drink and smoking or even sipping a soda can take your concentration off the road. Doing this can be more distracting than talking on a cell phone.

Distractions outside the vehicle

You should be aware for other drivers and pedestrians while trying to block out the roadside billboards, shops and all sorts of surprises or interesting things going on in the streets.
