We all know that texting while driving is a dangerous. But were you aware that reaching for that falling cup or reaching for that napkin can drastically increase your crash risk. There are a variety of things that could distract you from driving safely.
Do you Drive While Distracted?
Sometimes, we are all guilty of distracted driving. There are times where we look away from the road for five seconds- long enough for a child to chase a his ball in front of your car, or a dog to pop in your path. Even changing the radio station, popping in a CD, or choosing a new tune on your iPod can make you take your eyes off the road long enough for mistakes to happen.
These are just a series of possible distractions you can be faced with while driving. How many times have you driven past someone reading a book while driving? Or putting on makeup? Or shaving? While you may never commit any of these driving "no-no's", they do happen, and they can put you, and every other driver on the road in danger.
Driving Distracted Can Increase Your Car Insurance Costs
When you are shopping for car insurance, you're driving record plays a large role in your insurance costs. If you have a good driving record, you will be viewed by insurance companies as a safe and reliable driver. Being a safe driver makes you less of a risk and can lower your insurance rates. A bad driving record can also have the opposite effect on your rates. Having accidents and tickets on your record can increase your rates and costs. And driving while distracted can increase the risks of accidents and tickets.
