Mothers are Distracted Drivers also!
As cautious as women drivers try to be, they tend to get as distracted, if not more, than their male counterparts. And this holds true if the female driver in question is a mom.

What with moms having to shuffle between doing household chores, fixing lunch, dropping their kids to school and going to work themselves, they have very little time for themselves. Plenty of moms confess that they fix their makeup and eat their breakfasts while dropping their kids to school; while driving. Everybody knows that moms are probably one of the most distracted drivers around!

If you don’t want to be one of those unfortunate moms in a mess with the authorities for distracted driving, then here are some tips to help reduce distractions in your daily routine.
  • Make sure everyone in the car is buckled up before you get started, and keep checking on them during stopovers.
  • Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel at all times.
  • Never take calls while driving; divert all your calls to voicemail.
  • Allow a responsible passenger or an older child to handle your pphone calls and text messages.
  • If the phone call is urgent, then pull to the side of road before you answer it.
  • If needed, use a hands free device. But limit your usage.
  • Pull over to the side of the road and settle any arguments and disputes that may erupt in the car.
  • Never, never, never apply makeup or eat or even read anything when driving!
