Here on Kauai it’s not unusual to be behind a distracted driver that’s taking in the beauty of our island, but there are many other things that cause distractions while driving.
Here’s a list from Island Insurance’s Spring/Summer 2015 Newsletter:
1. Generally distracted – “Lost in thought”
2. Cell phone or smart phone use
3. Paying attention to activities outside the vehicle
4. Talking with other occupants in your car
5. Reaching for an object
6. Eating or drinking
7. Adjusting audio or climate control
8. Using devices in the vehicle (rear-view mirror or seat)
9. Driving with pets
10. Smoking-related activities such a lighting a cigarette
Some of the things listed seem like such an obvious “no-no” while other’s are not. Let’s try our best Kauai to watch out for these distracted drivers, as well as not be that distracted driver.
