With the proliferation of handheld connected devices, distracted driving has emerged as a major traffic safety issue. Distracted driving occurs when a driver operates a motor vehicle while engaged in another activity that divides his or her attention. The practice is most commonly associated with smartphone-related tasks, such as talking or texting while driving, but it also encompasses all other forms of distraction, including eating, conversing, listening to loud music, or using an in-vehicle navigation system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and other agencies identify three specific subtypes of distracted driving: visual, manual, and cognitive. Visual distractions occur when a driver takes his or her eyes off the road. (Opposing Viewpoints)
