- Eating or Drinking: Consuming food or beverages while driving can cause distractions and impair a driver’s ability to respond timely to changing traffic conditions.
- Grooming: Generally activities such as applying makeup, shaving, or adjusting hair can divert a driver’s attention from the road and increase the risk of a collision.
- Using In-Car Technology: Adjusting radio controls, GPS devices, or other in-car technology can distract a driver and cause him or her to lose focus on the road ahead.
