Which of the following does the Florida manual list as a common driver distraction?
-
A.
Following another vehicle too closely
-
B.
Talking on a cell phone Correct
-
C.
Driving in rush-hour traffic
-
D.
Wearing sunglasses at night
The answer is "Talking on a cell phone"
The manual lists talking on a cell phone among the common driver distractions on page 34. Rush-hour traffic in choice C sits one page earlier under 'risky driving times' that older drivers should avoid; readers who conflate that older-driver safety list with the distractions bullets pick it, treating a time slot to stay off the road as if it were a distraction the driver carries into the car.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Following another vehicle too closely
Following too closely appears on the road-rage signs list on page 36, not among the distractions on page 34. This answer lumps every bad-driving behavior in the chapter into the distraction bucket, since following too closely and cell-phone use both feel like signs of an inattentive driver.
C. Driving in rush-hour traffic
Rush-hour traffic appears one page earlier under the older-driver 'risky driving times' bullets, not among the driver's own distractions. This answer reads the older-driver rule to avoid rush hour as if the traffic itself distracted the driver, rather than as a time slot older drivers should stay off the road.
D. Wearing sunglasses at night
Avoiding sunglasses in dim or dark conditions is older-driver vision guidance on page 33, not part of the distraction list on page 34. This answer carries the older-driver caution against sunglasses in dim conditions into the distraction section, treating anything that impairs vision as if the manual filed it under distracted driving.
