Training Objectives

Identify manual distractions that require taking hands off the steering wheel

Understand how physical tasks increase the risk of lane departures and crashes

Course Overview

Manual distraction occurs any time you take one or both hands off the steering wheel to perform a task other than driving. Whether it's reaching for a fallen object, eating, grooming, or adjusting vehicle controls, these physical interruptions significantly delay your ability to react to sudden road hazards. Even small movements, like reaching for a drink or a bag on the floor, can cause unintentional lane drifting or a complete loss of vehicle control.

This training short highlights the critical need to maintain a "ten and two" or "nine and three" grip at all times. By pre-adjusting your mirrors and seats and securing all loose items before you shift into gear, you ensure that your hands stay where they belong: on the wheel.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

It is any activity that requires a driver to take one or both hands off the steering wheel.

Common examples include eating, drinking, smoking, adjusting the radio or climate controls, and reaching for items like a phone or a bag.

Reaching for an object can cause a driver to lose control of the vehicle, unintentionally drift out of their lane, or fail to steer in an emergency.

Activities like applying makeup or combing hair take your hands off the wheel and often involve looking in a mirror rather than at the road.

You should adjust your seat, mirrors, and climate settings, and secure any loose items before putting the vehicle in motion.
