Be Honest

What things do you DO while driving that you know are distractions....or what do the drivers of the vehicles you ride in do? (Eating, putting on make up....etc.) Does this worry you? If the lab shows you a definite problem, will you change your behavior? Why or why not? I expect at least 4 sentences for this blog post.

Well... I don't have a cell phone to distract me so usually i am pretty focused and I just started driving. For my distractions they usually are; grabbing stuff out of a bag and messing with the radio which makes me not as alert. I think if I have a problem with the activity today, I will definitely change my ways when I drive more or get a cell phone and have more distractions.

Commen distractions that i see people doing while driving, Usualy has somthing to do with drinking, or maybee looking at a map. it doesnt generally bother me, tho i havnt seen the results from the test yet. If the results show significant changes, I will try not to do any of those things while driving.

When i ride with my sister, we listen to the radio, eat, drink pop, and talk. I don't know if i will change my behavior because its not me driving, its my sister.

When I'm driving I sometimes might have my music to loud or be talking to other people in the car. Some people I have rode with text or talk on the phone when I'm with them which sometimes worries me a little because I know it can be dangerous. If the lab shows that people do have worse reactions when having a distraction it will definantly make me think twice before I do something that could distract me while driving.

you should all ways keep your eyes on the road and do what ever at home and not on the road so that way you will not get killed

I dont drive. When im in the car with someone they are usually texting, trying to write something, or tryinbg to eat or drink something. It scares me but I just shrug it off or tell them to pay attention. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

What worries me the most is when I see people texting when driving. Your focus should be on the road. Also what hits me is the people that smoke because most of them I see just throw the ciggerate out the window. That is bad for the enviorment and may cause health problems when driving.

Drinking (pop), singing to music, holding the dog, eating, talking on the phone, texting. This doesn't really worry me. I don't think I will change my behavior, i just think it will make me more careful on what I'm doing. The lab is on the computer and it's not the same as driving, so it might not make that much of a difference when I'm really driving.

This is dalton when I drive I eat I drink soda I will talk on my cell phone and ill text. Some of the things people do while I ride with them is basically the same as what I do. Am I worried not really that much cause nothing bad has happened yet. But when something does happen i will probably change my way of driving but until than probably not

Yes I have destractions while I'm driving. Some times I'll eat an Ice cream cone while I drive. And sometimes people are fighting in the back while I drive. But these distractions do not worry me to much. And if test show that these are big distractions th en I will try to to change how I drive and how my passengers act while I drive. To be safer.

I dont really do any thing while i drive besides drive, because i just got my permit adn so im still driving with my dad so i wouldnt want to make him mad!!:) Some people drink(water), eat, talk on the phone, Texting, and dancing to their blaring music!...This does worry me because they can put other peoples lives in danger for not being careful. Yes, i will not eat or drink or be on the phone while i drive...because then it will put other people in danger for me not being careful...

Sometimes when i drive i turn the radio or turn the volume up or down. I turn the air, heat, and defrost on. I roll the drivers window up or down. Other people that i ride with talk on their phone, eat, drink pop or water when they drive. All those things don't bother me that much. If someone were to text and drive I would have a problem with it.

I don't drive but i have seen others talking or txting on the phone, eating, and putting on make-up. I will be careful when i do start to drive. I hope others will too.

Unknown said...

When I drive i sometimes text. And a usually have something to drink or eat so im always reaching out for that. I also cant drive without the radio so im always reaching to change the station so im not always focused on the road. Oh, and my little brother hes always asking me questions and telling me to look at something while im driving. so hes also a big distration.
