Training Objectives

Define visual distractions and their impact on hazard perception

Identify common internal and external visual triggers while driving

Course Overview

Visual distraction occurs any time you take your eyes off the road. Even a few seconds of diverted attention can be fatal; at 55 mph, looking at a phone for five seconds is like driving the length of a football field blindfolded.

This training short explores the dangers of visual interference, from checking a GPS or reaching for an object to looking at "rubbernecking" sites outside your vehicle. You will learn how these distractions impair your ability to perceive hazards, maintain lane position, and react to sudden changes in traffic. By recognizing these triggers, whether they are digital screens or roadside sights, you can commit to keeping your "eyes on the road" and significantly reduce your risk of a collision.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

It is any activity that causes a driver to take their eyes off the road, even for a split second.

Common examples include looking at a navigation system (GPS), checking a text message, or looking for an item on the passenger seat.

These are things outside the vehicle that draw your eyes away, such as looking at a car accident (rubbernecking), billboards, or scenic views.

Looking at a phone for just five seconds while traveling at 55 mph is equivalent to driving the entire length of a football field with your eyes closed.

They significantly reduce a driver's ability to notice hazards, maintain proper lane positioning, and react in time to avoid a crash.
