Driver distraction can be defined as a diversion of the mental attention away from activities or skills needed for safe driving and completion of the activity. A distraction is a fact of having a person’s concentration disturbed by any external or internal stimuli. (Regan, 2007) When drivers are distracted, their attention is divided between the “primary tasks” of driving and “secondary non-driving tasks” such as conversation, radio listening, and technology use. These external stimuli causes the driver’s cognitive skills to be used to analyse both the road situation and the secondary task, resulting to the impairment of the driver’s situational consciousness, decision-making skills and driving performance.

Optimism is a great characteristic of a leader because if you don't have it, then you will wreck your crew you need to be able to remain positive and push to keep it in your mind that you will get through the challenging parts. Hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something. That's what optimism defines as and so it was mandatory for Shackleton to do that because if he didn't portray that he would probably have died and so he used optimism when they were in the boat and is was filling up with water and he just stayed hoping that it would end well.

Distracted driving is exactly what it sounds like. Distracted driving is driving while distracted. These distractions can range anywhere from eating to using a cell phone while driving- texting or calling, from loud music to having friends and family members in the car with you while you are driving. Almost anything can be a distraction as long as it takes your attention away from driving for anytime as short as five seconds. In fact, one study it said that eighty percent of all crashes and collisions and that at least sixty five percent of near crashes and collisions have to do with the driver being inattentive or distracted while behind the wheel. Three seconds may not seem like a very long at all, and it may not be…

Recently in 2013, a new law has been passed making texting and driving illegal. This law was approved because of the mass amount of accidents occurring due to the operator of a vehicle texting while driving. I do not believe a Public Service Announcement about this topic will reduce the number of distracted driving related incidents. Other people believe this type of announcement will in fact reduce the number of distracted driving related accidents. Texting isn 't the only type of distracted driving. It can be anything from brushing your hair to talking to a passenger. Even the most common actions like adjusting the air conditioner or radio can distract someone driving.…
“Baseball is like driving, it’s the one who gets home safely that counts” Tommy Lasorda. Getting home safely while driving is not as easy as it may seem. Many people urge to argue that distractions while driving will do no harm. This may be true, but with one wrong turn, someone's life could be at it’s last minutes. Therefore, tougher laws are needed to combat distracted driving because simple education on this topic is failing to work, unnecessary costs are needed to be dealt with, and it causes deaths and injuries.…
