Hey Guys! I\u2019m here to talk about Driving Distractions. Driving is a skill that requires every teen driver\u2019s full attention. The majority of teen deaths every year are caused by car collisions. Being a distracting passenger or distracted driver is just not smart or worth the risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last Saturday I went to the movies with some friends. My friend Ben was driving, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. Although I love Drake, the music was way too loud. My friends, singing and dancing in the back seat, added to the craziness. I could tell Ben\u2019s attention wasn\u2019t focused entirely on driving. I started thinking about the fact that distracted driving is the #1 cause of teen traffic crashes. I started to feel super uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although I hated putting a damper on all the fun, I valued our lives more, and reached to turn down the music. As soon as I turned it down, I noticed Ben seemed relieved.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s hard while driving to not be tempted to pick up the phone and check Twitter feed, Snap Chat, or scroll Instagram pics. On the way to school, I\u2019m running late sometimes, and it\u2019s tempting to eat breakfast while driving. I have to always remember – most distractions are temporary and last only seconds, but that second or two can make all the difference between being dead or alive.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you\u2019re behind the wheel, make your safety and your passenger\u2019s safety, the #1 priority. Your only <\/em>job when driving is to operate the vehicle safely \u2013 and that requires your full attention and focus. So the next time you drive, make sure you remember these distracted driving safety tips. These tips will help save your life.<\/p>\n
