Driver distraction

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.

Don’t begin your new year with bad habits, learn more about staying safe when travelling on the road this holiday period at www.police.vic.gov.au/road-safety-0
