Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety. These types of distractions include: - Texting - Using a cell phone or smartphone - Eating and drinking - Talking to passengers - Grooming - Reading, including maps - Using a navigation system - Watching a video - Adjusting a radio, CD player, or MP3 player But because text messaging requires visual, manual and cognitive attention from the driver, it is by far the most alarming distraction. |
