Review Maps and Plan Your Route Before Driving

Be sure to plan your driving route before getting behind the wheel so you can keep your schedule and prevent distractions that may occur while trying to read a map or directions. You may use electronic devices, such as a navigation system, to aid you when you are unfamiliar with the roadway. However, remember to use technology appropriate (pull safety to the side of the roadway or stop and take a break), otherwise it can be a source of distraction!
