Kent Distracted Driving Accident Attorney
Advocating for Victims of Distracted Driving Accidents in Washington
Car accidents caused by driver texting and driver cell phone usage have unfortunately become all too common. Some studies have even shown that using a cell phone while driving can be almost as hazardous as driving while intoxicated. Texting is likely even more distracting, as drivers must pay complete attention to their phone while entering or reading text.
Types of Distracted Driving & Their Consequences
Distracted driving is a serious issue that can lead to devastating consequences. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that distracted driving claimed 2,841 lives in 2018 alone. While texting or using a cell phone while driving is a common form of distracted driving, there are several other types that you should be aware of:
- Visual distraction: Taking your eyes off the road, such as looking at a GPS or checking your makeup.
- Auditory distraction: Listening to loud music or engaging in a conversation that distracts you from driving.
- Cognitive distraction: Daydreaming, being lost in thought, or focusing on external events instead of the road.
- Manual distraction: Eating, drinking, smoking, or adjusting the radio while driving.
