Protect what matters most. A seat belt saves you from more than a ticket.

Buckle Up the Right Way
Always place the shoulder belt across the middle of your chest and away from your neck, and place the lap belt across your hips, not your stomach. You should never put the shoulder belt behind your back or under your arm. And remember: always buckle up.

TYPES OF DISTRACTED DRIVING

The three basic types of distracted driving are manual, visual and cognitive, and all three increase crash risk. During visual distraction, drivers' eyes are off the road, such as looking at a billboard or the dashboard. A driver's hand is off the wheel during manual distraction, such as eating or handling an object.

Cognitive distraction poses the highest risk because the driver's mind is off driving. When a driver's brain is overloaded by two cognitive tasks, such as driving and talking on the phone, drivers make the phone conversation the main task and driving becomes the secondary task, without recognizing it. Driving is severely impaired as a secondary task, and the impairment can last a long time.

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

While the top actions for distracted driving crashes in Virginia involve rubbernecking, talking with passengers and adjusting the radio, texting while driving continues to be one of the leading causative factors, and is one of the most visible unsafe driving behaviors. Texting while driving is illegal and a primary offense in Virginia. A texting while driving conviction carries a $125 fine for the first offense and a $250 fine for second or subsequent offenses.
