It may be tempting to eat, drink, flip around the radio dial, or
play music loudly while you’re cruising around town; however, all can
cause your mind or vision to wander, even for a few seconds. As an
inexperienced driver, you are more apt to lose control of your car.
Distractions can significantly increase the chances that you 1) not
notice impending danger or notice it too late and 2) lose the ability to
control the vehicle.
