DISTURBING AND DISTRACTING ACTIVITIES WHILE DRIVING

When driving, a ā€˜sterile-cab concept’ should be implemented. In line with this, drivers should not be involved in non-essential activities that may affect their attention, situational awareness or judgement.

Such activities include but are not limited to the following:

(a) texting with mobile phones or other devices;

(b) making or answering phone calls;

(c) listening to music or making use of media;

(d) being involved in activities that require the lowering of the radio volume, if the vehicle is radio equipped; and

(e) non-essential conversations with other persons that are in the driver’s cabin, or over the radio.

Moreover, the vehicle’s cabin should be kept free of loose and distracting articles/items.
