It’s already easy to get distracted when driving around Amsterdam, but we’ve gathered a few simple steps you can follow to minimize the distractions on your daily commute.

First of all, make sure your hands are on the wheel and off of your phone. Driving is not the time for multitasking; any calls, texts, or emails can wait until you’ve safely arrived at your destination. One alternative is to ask a passenger to check your phone for you; just remember to keep your eyes on the road.

Another simple way to minimize distractions while driving is to limit the number of passengers in the vehicle. When there are too many people in the car, it leads to unnecessary activity and noise that distracts the driver. This is an excellent tip for parents of young or new drivers. Setting a passenger limitation ensures they won’t have extra distractions while growing accustomed to the driving experience.
