ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ?
                                         CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS?

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        Often drivers send texts and emails between traffic lights. Such drivers may
                        not notice a light changing to green. Texting even when you are stationary
                        at a red light is against the law. The rationale behind the law is that the
                        driver controls the car even when it’s not moving, and needs to maintain
                        focus even when the vehicle is not moving.

                        Texting while entering a parking lot is okay, because you are no
                        longer driving on the road.

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        Drivers are still on the move when entering a parking lot. Unless the driver
                        is fully parked and stationary, it is not okay to send texts, call, email etc.
                        Doing so is considered distracted driving and may put others in harm’s way.

                        Talking to a passenger is slightly safer than talking to someone on
                        the phone because…
                        A.   The conversation is more lively
                        B.   The passenger may stop talking when s(he) witnesses a driving
                             challenge
                        C.   The passenger may warn the driver of the oncoming danger

                        Answer – D
                        Explanation:
                        Talking on cell phones and conversing with passengers have different
                        effects on drivers and their levels of distraction. Drivers involved in cell
                        phone conversations encounter cognitive distraction, which means that
                        the brain cannot process driving tasks and conversations in a regular
                        manner.

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        Thinking about things other than driving is a cognitive distraction. Shifting
                        one’s attention from the road to focus on a list, a song etc can delay a
                        driver’s response to hazards on the road.

                        Explanation:
                        The National Safety Council states that drivers who talk on cell phones
                        while driving are 4 times more prone to get into a crash.

                        It is safe to talk on a hands-free cell phone while driving.

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        There is no sufficient evidence that suggests that talking on hands-free cell
                        phones is safer than talking on hand-held phones. The distraction arises
                        out of the conversation, and not out of holding the phone. Although there
                        is a higher risk associated with dialing a number than with talking,
                        according to some studies, the phone conversations rather than dialing
                        puts a driver in danger of being distracted.

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        There isn’t enough scientific evidence that proves that GPS systems,
                        whether audio or visual, pose a significant level of risk to drivers. GPS
                        system engineers design systems while carefully considering levels of
                        driver distraction and minimizing the time during which drivers are
                        preoccupied with their GPS. In fact, GPS systems and other vehicle-tailored
                        controls are made in such a way that they can be adjusted in a few
                        seconds.

                        Answer – C
                        Explanation:
                        The vehicle should never be in motion when the driver is on the phone.
                        Every call (except in cases of emergency) should be taken or made after
                        safely pulling over to one side of the road. Alternatively, drivers should
                        keep a voicemail greeting that informs all callers that they’re driving, or
                        schedule calls for blocks of time during which he/she won’t be on the road.

                        Explanation:
                        Kids are also one of the many distractions that drivers face. Kids crying,
                        whining, and arguing may distract parents. In situations where drivers
                        need to calm their kids, they should pull over to one side of the road and
                        settle the argument.

                        Answer – B
                        Explanation:
                        While traveling with little kids, it is wise to pack snacks and toys to keep
                        them engaged during travel. If kids are old enough to feed themselves, the
                        snacks and games can be kept in the back pockets of the front seats where
                        the kids can reach them. However, more interactive games should be kept
                        to a minimum so that passengers are not harmed in the event of a collision
                        or bump in the road.
                        Alternatively, kids can be told to wait until the next gas station or until the
                        time the driver can pull over. As tempted as drivers may be to check up on

                        activities that can cause driver distraction?
                        A.   Thinking about next week’s vacation
                        B.   Stewing about the argument you had with your children that

                        Answer – D
                        Explanation:
                        Cognitive involvement of a driver is essential to safe driving. Nevertheless,
                        a driver may fail to recognize a situation that demands a response because
                        his/her attention has wandered from the driving task for some non-
                        compelling reason. When this happens, the driver is typically focused on
                        internal thoughts (i.e. daydreaming, problem solving, etc.) and not focused
                        on the driving task.

                        Explanation:
                        Conversing with a passenger is one of the most common distractions for
                        drivers. Interactional distraction affects every driver, regardless of age and
                        gender, speed limit, weather, or traffic conditions.

                        Answer – A
                        Explanation:
                        Psychologists from the University of Utah determined that “[w]hen driving
                        conditions and time on task were controlled for, the impairments
                        associated with using a cell phone while driving can be as profound as
                        those associated with driving while drunk.”

  • 2. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: Often drivers send texts and emails between traffic lights. Such drivers may not notice a light changing to green. Texting even when you are stationary at a red light is against the law. The rationale behind the law is that the driver controls the car even when it’s not moving, and needs to maintain focus even when the vehicle is not moving.

  • 4. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: Drivers are still on the move when entering a parking lot. Unless the driver is fully parked and stationary, it is not okay to send texts, call, email etc. Doing so is considered distracted driving and may put others in harm’s way.

The passenger may stop talking when s(he) witnesses a driving challenge C. The passenger may warn the driver of the oncoming danger D. Both b and c Move to the next slide to view the right answer 3/14 http://www.mysafetysign.com
  • 6. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – D Explanation: Talking on cell phones and conversing with passengers have different effects on drivers and their levels of distraction. Drivers involved in cell phone conversations encounter cognitive distraction, which means that the brain cannot process driving tasks and conversations in a regular manner. Move to the next slide to view the next question 3/14 http://www.mysafetysign.com
  • 7. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Memorizing a song, a list, or a speech while driving… A. Enhances your multi-tasking abilities B.

  • 8. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: Thinking about things other than driving is a cognitive distraction. Shifting one’s attention from the road to focus on a list, a song etc can delay a driver’s response to hazards on the road.

  • 11. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? It is safe to talk on a hands-free cell phone while driving. A. True B. False Move to the next slide to view the right answer 6/14 http://www.mysafetysign.com
  • 12. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: There is no sufficient evidence that suggests that talking on hands-free cell phones is safer than talking on hand-held phones. The distraction arises out of the conversation, and not out of holding the phone. Although there is a higher risk associated with dialing a number than with talking, according to some studies, the phone conversations rather than dialing puts a driver in danger of being distracted.

  • 13. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Drivers using a GPS system are always at risk of being distracted while driving. A. True B. False Move to the next slide to view the right answer 7/14 http://www.mysafetysign.com
  • 14. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: There isn’t enough scientific evidence that proves that GPS systems, whether audio or visual, pose a significant level of risk to drivers. GPS system engineers design systems while carefully considering levels of driver distraction and minimizing the time during which drivers are preoccupied with their GPS. In fact, GPS systems and other vehicle-tailored controls are made in such a way that they can be adjusted in a few seconds.

  • 16. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – C Explanation: The vehicle should never be in motion when the driver is on the phone. Every call (except in cases of emergency) should be taken or made after safely pulling over to one side of the road. Alternatively, drivers should keep a voicemail greeting that informs all callers that they’re driving, or schedule calls for blocks of time during which he/she won’t be on the road.

  • 20. ARE YOU A DISTRACTED DRIVING ? CAN YOU ANSWER THESE 14 QUESTIONS? Answer – B Explanation: While traveling with little kids, it is wise to pack snacks and toys to keep them engaged during travel. If kids are old enough to feed themselves, the snacks and games can be kept in the back pockets of the front seats where the kids can reach them. However, more interactive games should be kept to a minimum so that passengers are not harmed in the event of a collision or bump in the road. Alternatively, kids can be told to wait until the next gas station or until the time the driver can pull over. As tempted as drivers may be to check up on their kids, it is not safe for them to take their eyes off the road. Move to the next slide to view the next question 10/14 http://www.mysafetysign.com
