What Is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver's attention away from the road. Driving while doing any of the following can be considered distracted driving:

• Texting
• Eating or drinking
• Grooming
• Talking on the phone or to passengers
• Using a navigation system
• Adjusting the radio

Distracted driving has become increasingly prevalent in recent years due to the widespread use of smartphones and other electronic devices.

Types of Distractions for Drivers

There are three main types of distractions that drivers face:

• Visual – A visual distraction takes the driver's eyes off the road.
• Manual – A manual distraction takes the driver’s hands off the wheel.
• Cognitive – A cognitive distraction takes the driver’s mind off driving.

Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving because it involves all three types of distractions.
