Distracted driving can be dangerous, but fortunately, there are plenty of BMW safety features designed to reduce distractions and prevent accidents. April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and we’re proud to say that our vehicles come with technologies that will help you keep your eyes—and mind—on the road. Visit Fields BMW Northfield to explore some of the safest models available.

What is Distracted Driving?

Anytime your focus leaves the road, you’re practicing distracted driving. This could be chatting (or worse, texting) on your phone, changing your navigation or music settings while driving, or turning your attention to someone else in your vehicle. Basically, looking away from the road ahead of you or letting your thoughts wander to something other than controlling your vehicle are considered distracted driving.

How BMW Safety Features Keep You Focused

Unfortunately, distracted drivers are everywhere. In addition to making sure you’re concentrating on driving, you’ll have to be on the lookout for other cars whose drivers might not be paying attention. Here are a few BMW safety features that help you:

• BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with voice command
• Bluetooth® connectivity to your smartphone
• Head-up display
• Driver attention monitor

The exact features will depend on your vehicle’s year, model, and trim. Many of our 2026 models are equipped with safety and driver assistance features like active lane change, distance control, steering assistant, active blind spot detection, and forward collision mitigation.
