that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death.
The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal
operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, other
equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes,
attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle
or that are not permissible by law should never be used during
operation of the vehicle.
