Grab the Trashbags
Have everyone throw out old papers and snack foods that would keep their hands from the wheel.
Make Space in the Backseat
Electronics are the biggest distraction to drivers, so make a spaces in the backseats where drivers can safely store (and maybe even lock up):
- cell phones
- e-readers
- tablets
Turn Up the GPS
Everyone choose a voice setting they can stand (Australian accent?) and set it to full volume. People shouldn't have to look down at the screen while driving.
Set the Playlist
Many accidents occur when a driver is changing the music. Make sure everyone compiles an extra-long playlist that won't temp to constantly change the song.
Break Out the Scrapers
Drivers should have clear windshields and sideviews in the winter. Make sure everyone has their scrapers and brushes in easy to find places.
