The moment you get your license is when you are sure you have been driving long enough to know what you're doing. You probably think that you have mastered this skill, and that's okay! However, no matter how prepared you can be, drivers are always prone to accidents and sudden motions when driving despite their road awareness.

Do Your Best to Avoid Distractions

The importance of keeping your focus on the task while driving and has a post below to help you avoid two of the most common distractions while you're behind the wheel. While it may seem strange to think of music as a distraction, what you listen to during your drive can either be conducive to driving or become a distraction. For instance, suppose you get into the car for your morning commute to work, so you choose a song or a station that can help wake you up. After a while, you fumble around for your phone instead of pulling over to change the music. Leading you to take your eyes off the road for a few seconds. Unfortunately, these few moments are the perfect opportunity to cause a serious accident. To avoid the latter scenario from happening to you, take some time to create some playlists which you can use. An hour or two while you laze on the couch, half-watching a movie with your family is a perfect time to do this activity. If you have any other regular trips planned, then be sure to make a playlist for these as well. With these in place, you can get into your car, choose the mood you want to indulge in, and know that you can drive to your destination without having to take your eyes off the road to fiddle with your music. After you have finished creating your playlists, take some time to check out the digital assistant offered by your phone. Even if you don't have a smartphone, the one you have will likely provide a basic set of voice functions that you can use while driving to ensure your focus stays on the task at hand.

AMSOIL's Signature Series 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil is a formula that will give your engine what it needs to not only perform at its best but also extend its lifespan.

There'll Be No Chance to Answer Calls, Texts, and Emails on the Road

The most common distractions for driving are calls, texts messages, and emails. While the obvious tip would be to leave your phone switched off when you get into your car and keep it out of arms-reach until you reach your destination, in the modern world, it not only isn't an appealing option, but it likely isn't a viable one. Instead of choosing to pull over and read a message right after receiving it, and once you have it, you also need to pay attention to the screen to read it and reply. Don't worry, though. It's just for a few moments! Unfortunately, those few moments are all that's needed for a collision to occur. If you must check your phone, opt for reading and replying during moments where it's safe to take your eyes off the road.

Keep Your Dash clear of Flashing Distractions

Keeping your focus on the task at hand is important for your safety, your passengers' safety, and the safety of other motorists and pedestrians. In addition to the above, be sure that flashing lights on your dash aren't taking your attention off the road by keeping your car in good shape.
