Question 7954

Most driver distractions are related to…

  1. the layout of the vehicle's controls
  2. the driver's physical and mental state and behavior.
  3. external factors, such as the road and its surroundings.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the driver's physical and mental state and behavior.

Most distractions come from drivers themselves, their condition, and their behavior. Sleepiness, fatigue, stress, and alcohol play a role, as does what you do behind the wheel, such as touching your cell phone while driving, like the driver in the image. The road, its surroundings, and the vehicle also cause distractions, but in fewer cases.
