Make attention a priority on every trip. These practical checkpoints are intended to help you make informed decisions while prioritizing safety.
Set up before you roll
Enter your destination, adjust mirrors, secure loose items, and select audio before starting the engine.
Put the phone out of reach
Use do-not-disturb-while-driving features. Even hands-free conversations can compete for your attention.
Plan for passengers and pets
Secure pets and explain to passengers that you need to focus. Pull over safely if a situation becomes distracting.
Take breaks
Fatigue makes it harder to react and maintain attention. Stop to rest if you feel drowsy, rather than relying on caffeine alone.
Keep in mind: Road rules, vehicle specifications, insurance terms, and driving conditions vary. Follow posted signs, your vehicle owner's manual, and applicable local regulations. Seek a qualified professional when safety or repairs are in question.
