Driver Distraction

Driver distraction refers to any activity that diverts attention away from driving. This can include using a smartphone for calls or texts, adjusting the radio, eating, or talking with passengers. Even mental distractions, like daydreaming, can impact a driver's focus. Distractions can reduce reaction times and increase the likelihood of accidents, as they prevent drivers from fully concentrating on the road, other vehicles, and potential hazards. Understanding and minimizing distractions is crucial for safe driving and reducing road injuries and fatalities.
