What is a distraction in terms of driving?

• A. Music or radio
• B. A navigation device
• C. Wearing a helmet
• D. Anything that takes your attention away from riding

Answer: (D)

Distraction means anything that pulls your attention away from riding. It can affect you visually, mentally, or with your hands. For example, music or a radio can become a distraction if it makes you look away from the road or take mental focus off riding. A navigation device can also be distracting because you might have to look at the screen or input directions, reducing attention to the road. Wearing a helmet is safety gear and doesn’t pull your attention away from riding, so it isn’t considered a distraction. The general idea—anything that takes your attention away from riding—best describes what a distraction is.
