many distraction of which you need to be aware. Below is a list of
distractions that can be very dangerous:

in the other lane
Fatigue and
stress

Don't be a Victim of Mail / Identity Theft
You can protect
yourself from becoming a victim of mail theft:
Retrieve you mail
as soon as possible after delivery to the mail receptacle. Do not leave
mail in your mailbox overnight.
Use collection
boxes or letter slots at the post office to mail letters instead of
leaving them in your residential box. The red flag up could alert
would-be crooks.
If allowed by
your employer, take your outgoing mail to work and place with their
outgoing mail.
If your mail
receptacle has a locking device, make sure it works. Apartment house
boxes should be maintained by the landlord.
Contact your
local post office to hold your mail when you're out of town.
Report any
suspicious activity to mail delivery in your neighborhood. Remember,
only the Postal Service is authorized to deposit items in your mailbox.
Be conscious of
normal receipt of monthly financial statements. Contact the sender if
they are not received in the mail. If you have applied for a new credit
card or have recently ordered personal checks which haven't arrived in a
timely manner, call the bank or credit card company involved.
Report all lost
or stolen credit cards or checks immediately. If you become aware of
any mail theft or fraudulent activity on your accounts, immediately
contact your local police department and the US Postal Inspection
Service.
