Distracted driving is a behaviour dangerous to drivers, passengers,
and non-occupants alike. Distraction is a specific type of
inattention that occurs when drivers divert their attention from
the driving task to focus on some other activity instead. Of those
people killed in distraction-affected crashes, 408 occurred in
crashes in which at least one of the drivers was using a cell phone
(13% of fatalities in distraction-affected crashes) at the time of
the crash. Use of a cell phone includes talking/listening to a cell
phone, dialling / texting a cell phone, or other cell-phone-related
activities. In keeping with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's distraction plan (Overview of the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration's Driver Distraction Program, April
2010, DOT HS 811 299), the agency continues to refine collection of
information about the role of distracted driving in police-reported
crashes. This book examines data gathered on specific distracting
activities to support the development of safety countermeasures and
to conduct improved data analysis.
