The Different forms of Distracted Driving
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2013, 3,154 people were killed in car accidents involving distracted drivers. Unfortunately, this statistic is due to the negligence of drivers who do not primarily focus on the road while driving. Below is a list of ways people engage in distracted driving:
- Texting
- Talking on the phone
- Using their phone for other activities
- Talking to a passenger
- Changing the radio
- Watching a video
- Using maps
- Eating
Distracted driving varies case to case, as a distracted driver can be cognitively, physically, and / or visually distracted. Sometimes, a driver can participate in all three forms of distracted driving simultaneously.
