What is Distracted Driving?

Distracted driving is the result of numerous car accidents that occur on a daily basis in the five boroughs. Distracted driving can occur when any action by a driver shifts their attention from the road to any other object or point of focus. One of the primary causes of distracted driving is cell phone usage. When a driver makes the choice to look at their phone to receive or send a text message, make a call, or any other action, it can cause a serious car wreck that can result in severe injuries.

Other common distracted driving actions include:

  • Eating or drinking
  • Navigating with a GPS
  • Talking to passengers
  • Adjusting the stereo
  • Reading texts or maps
  • Using a smart phone
