Distracted driving
Distracted driving is the act of driving while engaged in other activities—such as looking after children, texting, talking on the phone or to a passenger, watching videos, eating, or reading. These activities take the driver’s attention away from the road. All distractions compromise the safety of the driver, passengers, bystanders and those in other vehicles.
According to the United States Department of Transportation, "text messaging while driving creates a crash risk 23 times higher than driving while not distracted."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.distraction.gov/research/PDF-Files/Driver-Distraction-Commercial-Vehicle-Operations.pdf )〕 Despite these statistics, more than 37% of drivers have admitted to sending or receiving text messages while driving, and 18% admit doing so regularly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.edgarsnyder.com/car-accident/cell-phone/statistics.html )〕
==Types==
Distractions while driving can be separated into three distinct groups: visual, manual, and cognitive. Visual distraction involves taking one's eyes off the road, while manual distraction involves taking one's hands off the wheel. Cognitive distraction occurs when an individual's focus is not directly on the act of driving and his/her mind "wanders".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cdc.gov/Motorvehiclesafety/Distracted_Driving/index.html )〕
Distractions influenced by the advancement of technology, especially text messaging or talking on the phone, can require a combination of visual, manual, and cognitive attention from the driver, thus making these types of distractions particularly dangerous.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.distraction.gov/content/get-the-facts/facts-and-statistics.html )〕
