The Consequences of Distracted Driving

There is no denying that a distracted driver’s attention is divided. While people love to attempt to multi-task, the road is a place where one must be fully aware of all of the surrounding areas. Distractions can hinder coordination, vision, and take a driver’s hands away from the wheel. A moment is all it takes to cause a serious accident.

Here are the most common driver distractions:

  • Changing the radio station
  • Using a GPS device
  • Talking or texting on a phone
  • Reaching for objects inside the vehicle
  • Eating or drinking while driving
  • Putting on makeup
  • Talking to passengers

Laws have been passed in some states making cell phone use illegal while driving. Florida does not criminalize using a handheld device, however, texting is considered illegal for all drivers. If a distracted driver is found guilty of violating this law, this can be an important piece of your claim.
