Distracted driving is dangerous for everyone on the road and can often result in serious accidents and injuries to other drivers, passengers and pedestrians. A distracted driver is one who does not have his or her full attention on the road, and therefore, cannot make the quick and important decisions that keep people safe on the road.
Technology has made it easier and more convenient for drivers to become distracted on the road, but cellphones are certainly not the only devices that contribute to distracted driving. Any activity from eating to putting on makeup can distract a driver and result in an accident.

Sending a simple text message while operating a vehicle could wind up paralyzing another driver or causing the death of someone in a crosswalk that the driver failed to see. Distracted driving is dangerous when it involves the drivers of sedans and other smaller vehicles, but truck drivers and the drivers of commercial vehicles can cause even more damage if they are not giving their full attention to the road.
