WHAT IS DISTRACTED DRIVING?
Distracted driving encompasses any activity that draws focus away from the task of driving, such as using a phone, eating, conversing with passengers, adjusting the stereo or navigation system—essentially anything diverting attention from safe driving.
Texting stands out as a particularly dangerous distraction. Taking your eyes off the road to send or read a text for just 5 seconds at 55 mph is like driving the length of a football field blindly.
Safe driving demands undivided attention. Engaging in any non-driving activity poses a potential distraction and heightens the risk of accidents.
