- Driver Distractions Each year, more than 40,000 people are
killed in motor vehicle crashes and over three million are injured!
Research indicates that driver distraction is a contributing factor
in more than 25% of all crashes Source: AAA Foundation

- Problems with Driver Distractions are not New Some of the old
distractions that continue to cause problems are children and
babies, cigarettes, drinks, radios and audio players, and insects
or bugs that find their way into the vehicle. Photo courtesy of the

- Slide 47
- Newer distractions include GPS navigation systems, digital
music, On- Star roadside assistance, and cell phones. Problems with

- Driver Age Groups Distractions Drivers under age 20 are more
likely than older drivers to be identified as distracted at the
time of their crash. 20-29 year-olds use a cell phone frequently.
30-49 year-olds eat and drink more often in the car. 50 plus
drivers are more distracted by outside objects and events. Photos

- Slide 50
- When Distractions Lead to Collisions Distractions and
inattention cause 68% of rear-end crashes. Other typical crashes
include backing up, making lane changes, and merging. Photo

- Slide 51
- Reading and writing. Manipulating vehicle controls for extended
periods of time. Focusing on an external distraction. Having
emotionally charged discussion with passengers. Reaching for
objects inside the vehicle. Dialing a cell phone. Carrying on a
cell phone conversation. Performing grooming activities when the
vehicle is moving. Texting High Risk Driving Distractions
- Slide 52
- High-risk drivers tend to have higher levels of no hands on the
steering wheel, their eyes are directed inside rather than outside
the vehicle, and their vehicles wander in the travel lane or cross
into another travel lane. When Distractions Lead to Collisions

- Slide 53
- Many states are passing, or looking into passing, laws
regarding driver distractions. Distractions are Affecting Driver
Laws
- Slide 54
- Much of this attention stems from the enormous increase in cell
phone use by drivers and the prospect of similar growth in other
in-vehicle technologies. Distractions are Affecting Driver Laws
Photo courtesy of the AAA Foundation
- Slide 55
- Cell phone & texting laws Handheld Cell Phones: 10 states,
D.C., Guam and the Virgin Islands prohibit all drivers from using
handheld cell phones while driving (this includes Washington State)
Text Messaging: 38 states, D.C. and Guam now ban text messaging for
all drivers. In Idaho this is a PRIMARY OFFENSE (law enforcement
doesnt need any other infraction/violation to pull you over and
issue a citation for texting)
- Slide 56
- Idahos Texting Law 49-1401A. TEXTING WHILE DRIVING. (1) As used
in this section, "texting" means engaging in the review of, or
manual preparation and transmission of, written communications via
handheld wireless devices. This definition does not include
voice-operated or hands free devices that allow the user to review,
prepare and transmit a text message without the use of either hand
except to activate, deactivate or initiate a feature or function.
(2) Texting, as that term is defined in subsection (1) of this
section, while driving a moving motor vehicle shall constitute an
infraction provided this does not apply to voice-operated or hands
free devices that allow the user to review, prepare and transmit a
text message without the use of either hand except to activate,
deactivate or initiate a feature or function. Every person who
violates this section shall be guilty of an infraction.
- Slide 57
- New Vehicle Technology Helpful or Harmful? Drivers must use new
technology responsibly while driving. Electronic devices can
enhance safety in many ways. When stuck in traffic, using a mobile
phone to say you'll be late can reduce stress and make drivers less
inclined to drive aggressively. Any activity that takes your
attention from the road makes the driving task more dangerous!

- Slide 58
- Vehicle navigation systems help drivers locate addresses and
guide them to their destination. Wireless Internet and messaging
are becoming the norm on my phones and in many new vehicles.
In-vehicle DVD movie players are popular for passengers to pass
time when going on a lengthy trip. Are movies a distraction for
drivers? New Vehicle Technology- Helpful or Harmful? Photo courtesy

- Slide 59
- Consequences of Distracted Driving Distracted driving is one of
the leading causes of collisions. It forces drivers to make sudden
decisions. Drivers can easily be involved in a collision. Photo
courtesy of the AAA Foundation
- Slide 60
- Each year, more than 40,000 people are killed in motor vehicle
crashes and over three million are injured. Distracted driving
contributes to over 1,500,000 collisions each year. Thats 4,300
collisions each day 179 Collisions every hour. Consequences of
Distracted Driving
- Slide 61
- Divided Attention Tasks Divided attention can lead to missed
brake lights, missed traffic sign or signal, missed animal or
pedestrian, or a drift out of the lane position. Photo courtesy of
the AAA Foundation
- Slide 62
- A driver can learn to operate the vehicle with simple eye,
hand, and feet coordination. However, the driving task is a mental
process that needs constant attention to the path of travel in
order to keep the vehicle within the lane space and adjust to any
restrictions in the path of travel. Divided Attention Tasks Photo
courtesy of the AAA Foundation
- Slide 63
- It is important to recognize that taking attention from the
path of travel means the vehicle is moving on the roadway without
the driver seeing where the vehicle is going or mentally processing
any new information. Divided Attention Tasks Source: Unknown
- Slide 64
- It is critical never to look away from the path of travel for
more than second at a time without moving visual and mental
attention back to the path of travel. Divided Attention Tasks Photo
courtesy of the AAA Foundation
- Slide 65
- Learning to drive involves learning how to develop divided
attention to different tasks. Know how to operate the vehicle
controls. Be able to keep the vehicle on the road. Be able to keep
the vehicle in the lane. Be able to place the vehicle in different
lane positions. Be able to avoid risk. Learning how to Handle
Distractions Photo courtesy of the AAA Foundation
- Slide 66
- A "hands-free" apparatus may be helpful, but they can't prevent
drivers from becoming involved in a conversation and losing
concentration. If you must use a cell phone safely pull over to the
side of the road. If drivers must respond to an emergency while
driving, use speed dial features and a hands- free kit. Alert the
caller that you are on the road. Keep calls as brief as possible.
Cell Phone Strategies
- Slide 67
- Think you can? Think again
- Slide 68
- Make sure children are comfortable and properly buckled up. To
keep children from distracting the driver, provide them with safe
items they may need for the road trip. Children and Driving
- Slide 69
- Give yourself a break from the traffic and enjoy your
refreshments outside the car. Someone choking on food or spilling
liquid in the vehicle can take the drivers attention off the road.

- Slide 70
- Avoid reading while driving. Finish grooming before driving.
Don't rely on the time in your vehicle to take care of personal
routine such as applying make-up, combing hair or shaving. Other
Strategies for Reducing Risk Photo courtesy of the AAA
Foundation
- Slide 71
- As a new driver, keep 100 percent of your attention on driving
until you get better at doing multiple things at once in the car.
