Distracted Driving Distracted drivers are becoming more and more common posing a serious safety problem on our highways, often resulting in crashes causing serious injuries or death. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration 20% of injury crashes reported in 2009 involved distracted driving.
There are three types of distraction:
Visual which involves taking your eyes off the road
Manual which involves taking your hands off the wheel
Cognitive which involves taking your mind off the focus of driving
The more distraction types come into play, the greater the likelihood of a crash. Whether it is talking on a cell phone, putting on makeup, eating or simply fast forwarding to the next song, the cumulative effect can be deadly.
