Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You are driving on a busy city street when a text message arrives on your phone. What should you do?
Correct answer: Leave it alone until you have parked in a safe place, then read and answer it.
Why
Texting takes your eyes, your hands and your mind off driving all at once. At city speeds, a few seconds of looking down means you travel many car lengths without seeing the road. A first offense can bring a fine of up to $200, and a driver with a junior or probationary license faces a 120-day suspension.
