Types of Distracted Driving

According to The National Safety Council, using a cell phone while driving leads to 1.6 million motor vehicle accidents each year. The chances of crashing dramatically decrease when your full attention is on the road. Operating the radio, texting on a cell phone, talking to other passengers, using a navigation device, drinking or eating, and even daydreaming are a few examples of distracted driving. Divided attention while driving can cause someone to run a stop sign, run off the road, rear-end a car, cause a head-on collision, or hit a pedestrian.

Distracted Driving Statistics

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 1,000 people are injured daily in wrecks where at least one driver was distracted. The NHTSA also stated that one out of every four car accidents is caused by a distracted driver. To prevent distracted driving accidents, simply focus on what’s in front of you and pay attention to your surroundings at all times.
