How Distracted Drivers Cause Accidents

Driving is an activity that requires one's full attention. A driver should keep his or her eyes on the road and hands on the steering wheel at all times. Unfortunately, not all drivers observe these practices. Many drivers do other things while they are driving. They may talk on the phone, send a text message, send an email, apply make-up, eat, drink or smoke while driving. A driver may get behind the wheel when he or she is tired or upset and may therefore not have his or her full attention on the road and the cars sharing the road. This means that the driver will make mistakes. A distracted driver may fail to notice a change in traffic, may accidentally swerve out of his or her lane, may not check his or her blind spot before changing lanes or may even run right through a red light.
