🛑Top 5 Things Not to Do While Driving🏎
There's a much longer list of things you shouldn't do while you drive not only for your safety but for the innocent people around you just trying to stay alive.
1. Do not absolutely DO NOT text and drive
This is number 1 on my list because it's the most commonly violated, we think we'll just send a short text back, and it'll be fine. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Gamble with your snacks, NOT your life 💯
2. Do not Look Away From the road while you are driving for a long time
What i mean by this 3 seconds, the same amount of time it takes to check all your mirrors, at 60 MPH you Travel about 263 feet in those 3 seconds, That's plenty of time for something to happen, Longer than that? Is almost asking for a problem. Keep your eyes on the road.👀
3. Never steer with your Knees/Legs
it's possible to do it for very short distances. However, it's still very unsafe and shouldn't be practiced🛑
4. Don't forget your seatbelt
I was Recently in a horrible Car accident with my Fiancé caroline 🫶🏼 and Our seatbelts were genuinely the only thing that saved our lives, i have been guilty of this in the past for " short trips" like my accident was a 5 minute trip to get food. Always wear that seatbelt 👌
5. Do Not Waste your Time and Everyone Else's Staring at Accidents.
This is probably the most annoying thing on the list 🙄. Someone being infront of however many people slowly easing by an accident with your neck planted as far as it can go to any direction, accelerating as slowly as possible is the single most annoying thing someone can do on the road. Actually, this one might just be my opinion.... Do with it what you will👍

Driving safety is paramount to ensuring not just your own well-being, but also the safety of those around you. In 2021, distracted driving accounted for approximately 20% of all fatal car accidents in the United States. Texting, which often seems like a quick task, can distract you for up to five seconds; at 55 mph, that equates to driving the length of a football field without looking at the road. It is crucial to always stay focused and keep your hands on the wheel. Similarly, utilizing knees to steer may seem feasible for short durations, but it significantly reduces your reaction time to unexpected events on the road. Moreover, seatbelt usage can reduce the risk of fatal injury by 45%, emphasizing its importance, even on the shortest trips. Lastly, never engage in rubbernecking. This not only distracts other drivers but can lead to severe traffic congestions, creating potential hazards on the road. Always remember, staying attentive, wearing your seatbelt, and respecting the road can make a tremendous difference in preventing accidents.
