When Driving - Just Drive!

At Guaraldi Agency we want you to be a safe accident-free new driver. With this in mind we want to share with you some thoughts on driver distractions. These are not necessarily distractions only for new drivers but new drivers may be prone to some of these distractions more than other driver categories.

Here is an (incomplete) list of distractions:

1. Eating and Driving Just Drive – Don’t Eat and Drive! Having a nice meal is better done when not driving.

2. Putting on Make Up and Driving Just Drive – Don’t put on make up and drive! Let’s be sure that you remain beautiful.

3. Texting and Driving Just Drive – Don’t text and drive! This is a very significant distraction. It may be best to simply turn off your phone if you are the driver.

4. Shaving and Driving Just Drive – Don’t shave and drive! There are some things that are best done a home. Shaving is one of them.

5. Reading and Driving Just Drive – Don’t read and drive! Find a nice place to stop and read the map if you are lost.

6. Talking on the Phone and Driving Just Drive – Don’t talk on the phone and drive! Pull over safely to the side of the road if you need to talk on the phone

7. Singing and Playing Air Guitar and Driving Just Drive – Don’t play guitar hero or try to record your big hit. Get into the studio man!

8. Driving Around with Your Pets Just Drive – Don’t allow distractions from your animal friends. Remember we want them to be safe too.

You may feel that some of these are humorous and that you would never do any of these things while driving and this is good for you. If you see any of your new driver friends (or anyone for that matter) doing any of these distracting items then let them know that things could become distracting to the point where they could cause and an accident.

Look out for your new driver friends and for others as well and help to keep all drivers on the road safe.
