What constitutes distracted driving?

  1. Only texting while driving

  2. Any activity that diverts attention from driving

  3. Listening to loud music

  4. Talking with passengers

The correct answer is: Any activity that diverts attention from driving

Distracted driving encompasses any activity that diverts attention from driving, which includes a wide range of behaviors beyond just texting. When a driver engages in other tasks, whether it’s using a mobile device, adjusting the radio, eating, or interacting with passengers, they risk diverting their focus from the road. This can reduce reaction times and impair judgment, leading to dangerous situations behind the wheel. Recognizing that multiple activities, not just texting, can distract a driver is crucial for promoting safer driving practices.
