Types of Distracted Driving

Driving requires a person’s full attention in order to be performed safely. While the term “distracted driving” leads many to instantly think of texting while driving, it encompasses a much wider range of negligent activities that a person may engage in behind the wheel. Any activity that takes a driver’s attention off the road is considered a form of distracted driving.

Distracted driving can take three different forms:

  • Visual: Activities that require a driver to take their eyes off the road such as reading a book or looking at one’s cell phone are examples of visual distractions.
  • Manual: Manual distractions involve a driver removing their hands from the wheel. These may involve eating, drinking, texting, or attempting to hold a loose pet.
  • Cognitive: Just about every type of distraction requires a driver to take their mind off the tasks of driving. Talking with passengers, reading, eating, or any other activity will cause a person’s mind to focus on that activity and drift away from the road, reducing their situational awareness.

Distracted Driving Accidents in Maryland

According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the United States Department of Transportation, more than 3,100 people were killed, and 431,000 people were injured in car accidents involving distracted drivers in 2014 alone.

Secondary activities such as texting, grooming oneself, reading, talking on the phone, or playing with a radio can skyrocket a driver’s risk of being involved in a collision, putting nearby drivers and pedestrians at risk of serious injury.
