Distracted Driving
Often, the cause of a devastating car crash can be as simple as changing the radio station or tending to children in the back seat. Driving is an activity that requires the driver’s undivided attention, but too often, drivers divert their attention away from the road.
Distracted driving may put drivers and their fellow motorists at risk for serious injury or even death.

Common Driving Distractions
Many events can distract a driver from the road. Often, these distractions occur inside their own vehicles but still cause them to take their eyes off of the road. These distractions may include:
- Talking or texting on a cell phone
- Tuning the radio
- Tending to noisy children
- Applying makeup or grooming
- Eating
Often, drivers trust that they know the roads that they travel well enough to focus on something else for a few seconds. Unfortunately, this means that drivers fail to account for sudden changes, putting them at risk for causing serious accidents.
