Distracted
driving is seen as a major contributor to the large number of deaths and
accidents caused while driving. Distracted driving is the term used to describe
the act of driving while multitasking i.e. indulging in any other activity like
talking with a fellow passenger, texting or eating while driving. Distracted
driving may be manual, visual or Cognitive. Visual distraction requires the
driver to take his eyes off the road, like while talking to fellow passengers,
texting or sightseeing while at the wheel.
Manual
distraction refers to the driver taking his hands off the wheel. Classical
examples include answering the phone, texting and eating while driving.
Cognitive distraction is shown by drivers who take their mind off driving,
while still behind the wheel. This means that such drivers are physically
driving while their mind is wandering. This leads to slower reflex time and a
high probability of accidents, including death while driving.
In
the event of an accident happening, the driver or next of kin would need the
services of a car accident attorney. Statistical data shows that drivers
below the age of 20 are more liable to indulge in distracted driving. A large
part of the blame in such situation rests squarely on the adults who as role
models indulge in different types of distracted driving as can be widely seen.
