A GPS is made for use in a car, but using one while you're driving might be a dangerous distraction. If your car is equipped with speech recognition technology, utilizing voice commands to control a GPS can lessen but not completely remove the risk. Drivers were forced to take their hands, eyes, and minds off the road for longer than 24 seconds when using voice-based or touch-screen technologies.
GPS-related dangerous distracted driving behaviors:
You can be engaging in a number of risky distracted driving behaviors without even recognizing it. Several instances include:
- While driving, programming the GPS
- While driving, entering directions or searching for a location on the GPS
- Having music playing louder than the GPS audio
- Reacting to GPS directions too late, leading to sudden turns, lane changes, or exits that can cause a crash
How to Safely Use a GPS
To get to your destination, you'll probably need to utilize a GPS device at some point. Here are some tips to help you get there safely:
- Before you begin driving, program your GPS.
- If you need to reprogram the GPS, pull over.
- Use the GPS system in your car rather than your phone.
- If you are traveling with someone, let them set up the GPS system.
- Turn down the music and keep the GPS volume up.
