Safe driving requires your full attention. Texting is one of the most dangerous driving distractions. Here are some other common distractions to watch out for.

Grooming:

Pressed for time, some people put on makeup or shave in the car. Do yourself and other drivers a favor by completing your morning routine at home.

Eating and drinking:

Your steaming cup of coffee spills or ingredients slip out of your sandwich — any number of distractions can arise when you drive and dine. Stay safer by saving the refreshments until you're parked.

Rubbernecking:

Slowing down to look at a traffic collision can cause a crash of your own. The same thing goes for lengthy looks at billboards, a street address or a scenic view.

Listening to loud music:

Playing your radio at a high volume or wearing headphones takes your focus away from the road. These distractions reduce the likelihood you'll hear car horns, emergency vehicles or other key noises.

Daydreaming:

Have you ever missed an exit because you weren't paying attention? Resist the urge to drift off while driving, and keep your focus on the road. Varying your typical driving routes can help you stay alert.

Nodding off:

If you feel sleepy, pull over. Walk around, switch drivers, or find a safe place to nap before you resume driving.
