Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes a driver's attention away from safe operation of a vehicle. Common distractions include texting, eating, adjusting controls, and interacting with passengers. Distracted driving contributes to thousands of crashes each year resulting in injuries and deaths, especially among teen drivers. To prevent distracted driving, drivers should turn off devices before driving, secure loose items, plan for stops if needing to eat, and remain focused on the road.
