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.

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.

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.

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.

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