9 Common Driver Distractions & How They Can Affect Your Road Test
(This Blog Covers: “9 common driver distractions”)
Safe driving is one of the core skills examined during the Virginia DMV road skills test. Any sign of distraction during the test can result in failure. Understanding—and avoiding—common distractions helps you build safer driving habits for life.
The 9 Most Common Driving Distractions Are:
- Texting or using your phone
- Adjusting the radio or navigation system
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Talking to passengers
- Reaching for objects inside the car
- Daydreaming or lack of focus
- Grooming (fixing hair, makeup, etc.)
- Looking at events outside the car (rubbernecking)
- Driving while tired or emotional
Even minor distractions can lead to unsafe maneuvers—something the DMV examiner will not overlook.
