Distracted driving joins alcohol and speeding as a leading cause of injury and fatal collisions in the United States. It involves any activity that diverts a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving. Cell phone use is among the most dangerous because the behavior involves taking a driver’s hands off the wheel (manual distraction), eyes off the road (visual distraction), and mind off of driving (cognitive distraction).
