What is distracted driving?
Distracted driving happens when a driver’s attention is pulled away from the task of driving. Even a split-second distraction can have life-altering consequences. With vehicles traveling at high speeds, the lack of focus caused by distractions significantly increases the risk of collisions. When drivers choose to drive distracted they fail to prioritize safety—both for themselves and for others on the road.
Different types of distracted driving
Distracted driving falls into three main categories. Each type involves different ways a driver’s focus can be affected:
- Visual distractions: These occur when a driver takes their eyes off the road. Even a quick glance at a phone, GPS, or a passing billboard can mean missing critical moments to react.
- Manual distractions: These involve taking your hands off the wheel. Common examples include eating, reaching for something in the car, or adjusting the radio.
- Cognitive distractions: These happen when a driver’s mind is not on driving. Daydreaming, talking to passengers, or stressing about personal problems can impair decision-making and reaction time.
Some specific examples of behaviors that often lead to distracted driving accidents include:
- Texting or using a smartphone
- Eating or drinking while driving
- Adjusting the radio or GPS settings
- Reaching for items in the backseat
- Putting on makeup or grooming
- Interacting with passengers, particularly young children
- Daydreaming or being mentally preoccupied
We stand ready to protect your rights, prove fault, and collect maximum tax-free payment for your injury claims.
Texting and driving in Texas
Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving because it involves all three types of distractions: visual, manual, and cognitive. In just a few seconds, a texting driver can travel the length of a football field without looking at the road. This creates and increases the chances of accidents, often resulting in severe or fatal injuries.
Texas has implemented strict laws to combat distracted driving, particularly texting while driving. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), some laws to keep in mind include:
- Statewide texting ban: It is illegal for all drivers in Texas to send, read, or write electronic messages while driving.
- Restrictions for minors: Drivers under 18 are prohibited from using handheld devices while operating a vehicle.
- School zones: All drivers are banned from using handheld devices in school zones.
Violating these laws can result in fines and penalties.
