Description
Distracted driving is a critical threat to road safety, affecting drivers across all experience levels. Distractions can be visual, manual, or cognitive—and often a dangerous combination of all three. These distractions may come from external sources like digital billboards, passengers, or road conditions, or internal ones such as fatigue, stress, or emotional distress. This course explores how different types of distractions impact driving performance and equips drivers with techniques to maintain full focus and control behind the wheel.
