What is distracted driving?
There are four types of driver distraction:
● Visual – looking at something other than the road
● Auditory – hearing something not related to driving
● Manual – manipulating something other than the wheel
● Cognitive – thinking abut something other than driving
Distracted Driving
UNCLASSIFIED
Seabees We build – We fightUNCLASSIFIED
Distraction occurs when a driver voluntarily diverts attention to something not relatedto driving that uses the driver’s eyes, ears, or hands.
Most distractions involve more than one of these types, with both a sensory – eyes, ears, or touch – and a mental component.

Thanks to the combination of engaged leadership, enhanced training and personal responsibility
Out of the 16 Motorcyclists killed in FY11, 12 were riding sport bikes, 9 had not completed MSRC
This is a reduction in sport bike fatalities from 29 in FY08 to 12 this last year
Seabees are 4% of the Navy, yet we accounted for 18% of motorcycle deaths in FY11
It Won’t Happen to me!
