Testimonials
Distracted driving refers to any type of activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road. These distractions can increase the risk of accidents and collisions.
The three main types of distracted driving include:
Visual distractions take a driver’s eyes off the road.
Examples include:
This type of distraction involves actions that cause the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel.
Examples include:
This type of distraction occurs when a driver’s mind is not focused on driving.
Examples include:
Distracted driving laws in Texas can reduce the risks associated with activities that take a driver’s attention from the road. These laws are meant to prevent texting and using handheld devices while driving.
Distracted driving laws include:
Texas has a statewide ban on texting while driving. It is illegal for drivers to send, receive, or read text messages while the vehicle is in motion.
While Texas has a texting ban, it does not have a statewide ban on using handheld devices for other purposes. However, some counties in Texas have their own laws prohibiting handheld device use.
In certain situations, state law imposes stricter restrictions. Using a handheld device is prohibited in active school zones and within 500 feet of a school bus that is receiving or discharging passengers.
Texas law imposes stricter restrictions on novice drivers. During the first 12 months of having a learner’s permit or provisional license, drivers under 18 years of age are prohibited from using wireless communication devices, including cell phones, while driving.
Texting while driving diverts a driver’s attention from the road, negatively impacting driving performance, resulting in an increased risk of collisions.
Texting while driving results in:
When a driver is texting, their reaction time to potential hazards is delayed. This delayed response can result in a collision in situations that require quick decisions, such as sudden stops or evasive maneuvers.
Texting can cause erratic driving behaviors, such as drifting between lanes, inconsistent speeds, and ignoring traffic signals. These driving behaviors can result in a collision.
The combination of visual, manual, and cognitive distractions makes texting while driving a leading cause of auto accidents. A collision can occur when a driver is unable to react quickly to changes in traffic conditions or unexpected obstacles.
Driving while texting not only jeopardizes that driver’s safety but also puts others on the road at risk. Pedestrians, cyclists, and occupants of other vehicles can become victims of accidents caused by distracted driving.
Texting while driving has been linked to hundreds of serious and fatal accidents. The combination of distraction and impaired driving performance can result in fatalities.
