Distracted Driving: Stay Focused

About the Training

Distraction takes more than 3,000 lives on U.S. roads each year, and commercial drivers carry the highest stakes. This training gives drivers a complete picture of visual, manual, and cognitive distraction, the triggers behind each, and the habits that keep attention locked on the road.

  • Identify the visual, manual, and cognitive forms of distraction
  • Explain how each type of distraction compromises safe vehicle control
  • Recognize common in-cab distraction triggers and how to eliminate them
  • Apply focus-maintaining habits across a full shift behind the wheel
