What is Considered Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver's attention away from the primary task of operating a vehicle. Common examples of distracted driving include:

• Texting or using a cellphone: This is a significant and dangerous form of distraction that takes visual, manual, and cognitive attention away from driving.
• Eating or drinking: Consuming food or beverages while driving can lead to distraction.
• Using in-car entertainment systems: Adjusting the radio, GPS, or other entertainment features can divert attention.
• Talking to passengers: Engaging in conversations with passengers can take focus away from the road.
• Grooming: Activities like applying makeup or fixing hair can be distracting.
• Reading maps or other materials: Anything that takes eyes off the road is a potential distraction.
• Daydreaming or being lost in thought: Mental distractions can be just as dangerous as physical distractions.
