Distracted Driving Dangers
Distracted driving is operating a vehicle while performing another activity (multitasking), taking your attention away from the road. There are three main types of distractions: manual, visual, and cognitive. No matter if your hands are off the wheel, your eyes are off the road, or your mind is not focused on driving, distracted driving can increase the likelihood of a crash. Texas has enacted laws which prohibit drivers from distracted driving behaviors, including texting and driving.
Common distractions while driving include the following:
- Using your cellphone (talking or texting)
- Having a conversation with passengers
- Grooming
- Eating or drinking
- Looking at the GPS or navigation system constantly
- Spacing out
