Passengers can distract the driver by talking loudly, playing with horses, trying to discipline children, or having a pet loose in the car. When you have children, you need to tell them that it is important for you to focus on the road and give them something to do in the car, such as a game, book or toy. If you need to pay attention to your child, you need to pull over in a safe place and do so. When you have friends or family members in the car who are distracting you, you should explain to them that they are distracting you and tell them to talk or do anything that will distract you outside of the car. You should never leave an animal loose in the car, as it could jump on you and hit the steering wheel or jump out blocking the road and get you destroyed. You should always put your pet in a carrier when in the car. According to newscience.com, “A new study found that drivers with passengers were nearly 60% more likely to have an accident resulting in hospitalization than those who drove out into the open.
