Driver distraction

January 6, 2023 BY

Victoria Police

Drivers are ten times more at risk of a crash if they are using their mobile phone while driving.

Taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles your risk of a crash.

Not only does distracted driving reduce your reaction time, it also:
– makes it hard to maintain a consistent speed
– leads you to drift in and out of lanes
– means you miss traffic light changes.
