Distracted Driving

Distracted driving is a huge problem not only for teens but all drivers, and is one of the leading causes of accidents in the United States. A phone call or random text can wait until you are finished driving; traffic on a highway can change in an instant and it only takes a brief look away to get in trouble. If you have a passenger, consider giving them the phone if navigation is needed.

Weather

Hazardous road conditions can be caused or made worse by bad weather, so it is important to take a look at the forecast before heading out. Take special care on roads with construction or narrow lanes, and always leave extra distance behind cars as your brakes are less effective on watery roads. If the weather gets too bad, consider pulling off the road or not heading out until the storm passes by.
