Distracted Drivers
Every year, more than 1.5 million car crashes are the fault of a distracted driver. A distracted driver is someone who is not focusing attention on the road or is behaving dangerously and, as a result, putting fellow motorists in danger. Distracted driving is a serious problem and is the cause of many injuries each year.

Common Distractions
Drivers can become distracted by any number of things. Even tasks like tuning the radio can be hazardous if it diverts the driver’s attention. Some common distractions drivers face are:
- Talking on a cell phone
- Paying attention to something happening at the side of the road
- Eating and drinking
- Talking to other passengers
- Picking something up from the floorboard
Though a common task may not seem distracting, it may divert the driver’s attention away from the road and other motorists. Suffering an injury at the hands of a distracted driver is almost always the distracted driver’s fault, and he or she should be held accountable for his or her actions.
