What Is Considered Distracted Driving?

As defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is any activity that diverts the driver’s attention away from operating the vehicle. Texting is the most alarming distraction, as it requires manual, visual, and cognitive attention. Sending or reading a text takes the driver’s eyes off the road for five seconds at a time, equivalent to driving the length of a football field with the eyes closed.

Common Types of Driver Distraction

Although texting while driving creates an enormous potential for accidents and injuries, it is not the only form of driver distraction. Other types of distracted driving behavior include:

Talking on a cell phone
Conversing with passengers in the vehicle
Dealing with children
Eating and drinking
Reaching for objects in the car
Operating the navigation system
Adjusting in-vehicle systems
Grooming or applying makeup
