Distracted Driver
Description: Have you ever seen distracted drivers? What were they doing? Talking on a cell phone? Adjusting the car stereo? Applying makeup? Slowing down to check out a wreck on the side of the road? Maybe they had to brake sharply or make an evasive maneuver to avoid hitting a vehicle in front. Or maybe they were actually involved in a collision. Whatever they were doing, I bet you thought to yourself “that person needs to pay more attention.” And you’d have been right. Distracted driving and distracted drivers are a big problem on our roads today. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, estimates that driver inattention is a factor in 25-50 percent of highway collisions, or 4,000-8,000 crashes every day.

In a recent NHTSA survey, 81% of drivers admitted to engaging in potentially distracting behavior while driving
