April is Distracted Driving Awareness month in Canada and at Truckker, we are committed to promoting safety on the roads and bringing forth the dangers of distracted driving. Did you know that distracted driving is the leading cause of accidents on our roads today? From texting and talking on the phone, to eating or fiddling with the radio, distractions can take our attention away from the road, often with serious consequences. ?
Here are a few tips to avoid distracted driving while you are out on the road.
1.????? Set up before you go: Adjust your climate controls, set your GPS location and select your music before you start driving so that you do not need to adjust them once you hit the road.
2.????? Avoid eating and drinking: Eating or drinking while driving can be a significant distraction. Finish your meal or snack before putting your truck in the drive position.
3.????? Put your phone away: Keep your phone out of reach while driving. If you need to use it for navigation purposes or to make a call, pull off to the side of the road.
4.????? Take breaks: If you’re on a long haul, schedule breaks to refresh yourself and stretch your legs. Fatigue can lead to distractions as well.
