Types of Driver Distractions

According to a recent study by the U.S. government, distracted driving has been a common cause for many car accidents throughout the nation. From studies conducted in 2009 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving was the cause of 16% of fatal crashes and 20% of injury crashes.

Furthermore, the study showed that teen drivers are more likely than any other age group to be involved in a fatal car accident caused by distracted driving. Some of the most common forms of driver distraction include the following:

Manual Distractions – These types of distractions include any distraction that will take your hands off of the wheel, such as eating food or touching a CD player in your car.

Visual Distractions – A visual distraction is one that will take a person's eyes off of the road, such as looking at a passenger in the back seat of your car, watching a movie, or looking at a text message.

Cognitive Distractions – This type of distraction is known to take a person's mind off of what they are currently doing, and can include cases of impaired or drunk driving.

If you have been involved in a car accident, motorcycle accident, truck accident, or any other type of motor vehicle accident that was caused by driver distraction, immediately contact a Scranton auto accident attorney from our law firm.
