What is Distracted Driving?
Distracted driving refers to any activity that diverts a driver's attention away from the primary task of operating a vehicle safely. It involves engaging in behaviors that can impair a driver's focus, judgment, and ability to react to the road and traffic conditions. Distracted driving is a significant risk factor for accidents, injuries, and even fatalities on the road.
Common Forms of Distractions
Common distractions while driving include:
- Cell Phone Use: One of the most prevalent distractions is the use of cell phones, including talking on the phone, texting, browsing the internet, using social media, or taking selfies while driving.
- Texting: Texting is particularly dangerous as it combines visual, manual, and cognitive distractions. Writing, reading, or sending text messages diverts the driver's eyes from the road, hands from the steering wheel, and mind from the task of driving.
- Talking to Passengers: Engaging in conversations with passengers can divert a driver's attention from the road. This includes talking, listening, or interacting with passengers in the vehicle.
- Eating and Drinking: Consuming food or beverages while driving requires a driver to take their hands off the wheel, eyes off the road, and mind off the task of driving. This can lead to loss of control and slower reaction times.
- Grooming: Activities such as applying makeup, shaving, combing hair, or adjusting clothing can cause drivers to take their eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Using In-Car Technologies: Interacting with in-car technologies like GPS navigation systems, touchscreen displays, or adjusting music controls can distract drivers from focusing on the road.
- Daydreaming: Allowing the mind to wander or becoming lost in thought while driving can lead to a lack of awareness of road conditions, traffic signals, and potential hazards.
- External Distractions: Looking at billboards, reading advertisements, watching other accidents or incidents on the roadside, or being distracted by unusual events happening outside the vehicle can divert a driver's attention.
Proving Liability in Distracted Driving Cases
Proving liability in a distracted driving accident case can be challenging, as it requires gathering evidence to demonstrate that the other driver was indeed distracted at the time of the accident. At Cunningham Bounds, we employ a comprehensive approach to investigate the accident thoroughly. We work with accident reconstruction experts, gather witness statements, review phone records, and examine any available surveillance footage to establish the other driver's negligence.
