“Mental distractions are thoughts that keep a driver from being focused while driving.

Mental distractions can take on many forms, such as: emotional stress, family issues, or money problems.

You can probably remember times when you have driven down an empty road, and then you suddenly realize you cannot remember the last 5 to 10 minutes of the trip, because you were daydreaming about your next vacation.

It is important to remember that mental distractions like these can lead to potential accidents, because you won’t be in the right state of mind to think quickly or drive as safely as you should.”
