Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control 
that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and 
death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and 
legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, 
other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s 
eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a 
vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be 
used during operation of the vehicle.
