Steer Clear State Farm Safe Driver Practice Test

Reading a text message while driving at 55 mph equates to covering the length of what while blindfolded?

football field sports stadium Two city blocks basketball court

Correct Answer:

football field

Explanation:

Reading a text message while driving at 55 mph can be incredibly dangerous as it significantly distracts the driver from the road. At that speed, a vehicle travels approximately 80 feet per second. This means that if a driver takes even just five seconds to read a text, they will cover a distance equivalent to the length of a football field, which is about 300 feet. This gives a vivid illustration of how long a driver is effectively "blindfolded" while their attention is diverted, underscoring the risks associated with distracted driving. The other options, while potentially covering shorter distances, do not appropriately reflect the significant length that would be traversed in that amount of time at that speed.
