Common Causes Of Distracted Driving

One of the major pieces of information that will be vital to your car crash case is how the driver was distracted. Since Ohio’s law revolves around the concept of comparative negligence, the source of distraction will become a part of your case. The most common types of distraction are:

• Texting: Texting is the number one way people get distracted while they drive. Taking the time to type, even if its voice to text, can take attention away from the road.
• Handheld use: Beyond texting, entering GPS directions, utilizing an app of any sort, even just silencing notifications all divide the driver’s precious attention.
• Infotainment: Podcasts and music make drives a lot simpler, but when the driver tries to “change the channel” that’s when they are at most risk of crashing.
• Passengers: From rowdy teenagers packed into a back seat of an inexperienced driver to screaming upset toddlers to simply an argument with a partner about where to eat, other people can pull a driver’s attention easily.
• Eating: Eating often requires use of at least one hand, and at least some attention. The most distracted moment here would be if the driver drops something hot or messy on their lap and reacts.
