I was driving too fast. A few months later I received in the mail a demand for payment of a fine from Austria, written in German, with the number of the account to which I should transfer the money.

While driving, we often talk on the phone, have heated arguments with passengers, tinker with the intricate menus of the navigation system, dine, or even read the newspaper. “Each of these activities makes us distract from the main task, that is, from safe driving,” explains Radoslav Jaskulsky, an instructor at the Skoda Driving School.

Distraction or too many irritants mean his decisions may be belated...
