Common Driving Distractions

Some of the most common driving distractions include:

Talking on your cell phone while driving
Texting while driving
Looking at an object outside the vehicle or “rubbernecking”
Grooming or applying makeup
Using a hand-held device such as a GPS or iPod
Driving while fatigued
Eating while driving

These distractions can prevent a driver from focusing properly on the road, leading to swerving, abrupt braking, an inability to see another driver cutting you off, failure to stop at a red light, or failure to note road construction signs. All of these actions will greatly increase your risk of an accident.

Driving While Talking or Texting on Cell Phones

Two of the most dangerous driver distractions are talking on the cell phone and texting while driving. In 2008, there were approximately 6,000 fatalities and 500,000 injuries in auto accidents caused by distracted drivers. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that cell phone use was a factor in many of these accidents.

In fact, a report released by the Department of Transportation indicates that driving while

talking on the cell phone is almost as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.Texting while driving is far more dangerous. When you talk on the cell phone, your eyes are at least on the road. Texting while driving forces you to take your eyes off the road, often for dangerously long periods of time. A recent study on the texting behaviors of truck drivers found that truckers took their eyes off the road for as much as five seconds every time they texted. Driving 60 mph on the highway, five seconds is long enough to cause a serious accident.

The dangers of cell phone use and texting while driving is compounded by the frequency which young, inexperienced drivers engage in these actions. Young drivers are already at a statistically higher risk of getting into a car accident. Cell phone use raises this risk even higher.
