What is “distracted driving”?
What constitutes distracted driving can be complicated, but the NHTSA states that a distraction is anything which “could divert a person’s attention away from the primary task of driving.”
- Types of distracted driving can include:
- Cellphone use, especially texting
- Lighting a cigarette
- Adjusting a portable music device
- Eating or drinking
- Personal grooming
- Searching for a radio station
- Reading a map
- Working a GPS device
A driver’s eyes can easily drift from the road for several seconds while distracted—plenty of time to cause a major accident. Those who exhibit unsafe driving by being distracted can be held liable by our Jonesboro personal injury lawyer for compensation in the way of an injury suit.
