Understanding Distraction
In the simplest terms, distracted driving is driving while paying attention to anything that is unrelated to the operation of a vehicle. This can include:
- Using a cellphone to talk, type, or text
- Using hands-free electronics and entertainment systems
- Programing or reading GPS and map programs
- Changing a CD or radio station
- Playing with a portable music device
- Personal grooming such as putting on makeup
- Eating or drinking
- Lighting a cigarette
- Looking for a dropped item
- Rubbernecking
Literally anything at all that takes a drivers eyes off of the road places everyone else at increased risk for injury and death. When you become the victim of someone who feels that sending an “LOL,” drinking some coffee, or finding the exact song he or she wants to hear is more important than your life, you are entitled to hold that person responsible for all of your damages and to seek compensation for financial, physical, and emotional harm caused by their deliberate and inexcusable behavior.
Everyone believes they are good drivers and many hold to the idea that, despite their inattention to the road, they have everything under control. Not only is this provably incorrect, it is terribly irresponsible and places everyone at risk for serious injury.
