Distracted driving refers to any and all activities that might divert the driver’s attention away from the road. Some examples of this would be texting/talking to someone on the phone, eating and drinking, but even something as basic as tuning the radio is an example of distracted driving and is usually considered a traffic offense. Distracted driving is usually punished by fines, but in some cases the severity of punishments escalates to a short sentence. The way that distracted driving is treated is not unfounded, as reportedly about 15% of fatal and 14% of all reported motor crashes were caused by some type of distracted driving. Distracted Driving is dangerous because you put not only yourself, but everyone else on the road as well as in close proximity to it in danger.
