What should a driver avoid doing while driving?

Adjusting the vehicle's mirrors
Talking to riders or getting distracted
Following traffic signs
Maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles

The correct answer is: Talking to riders or getting distracted

A driver should avoid talking to riders or getting distracted while driving because distractions can significantly impair a driver's ability to focus on the road and react to changing conditions. Engaging in conversation or becoming preoccupied with other activities within the vehicle can divert attention away from essential driving tasks, such as monitoring traffic signals and the behavior of other road users. Maintaining concentration is critical, as any lapse in attention can lead to delayed reaction times and an increased risk of accidents. By prioritizing focus and remaining aware of the vehicle's surroundings, drivers can make safer, more informed decisions on the road. In contrast, adjusting mirrors, following traffic signs, and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles are all fundamental safe driving practices that contribute to a driver’s awareness and overall road safety.
