Stay Safe on the Road by Avoiding Distractions

Posted on March 16, 2019 by spl

Operating a motor vehicle requires the driver’s undivided attention at all times. Cars move very fast, especially on the highway. This means even a split second of a driver’s attention being off the road can cause serious mistakes and potentially devastating accidents. A driver must be aware of any changes in the roadway or traffic flow and adjust their driving accordingly. Unfortunately, far too many drivers are distracted while driving and cause accidents.

Distracted Drivers

Distracted drivers are any drivers that have their attention off the road for any reason. The majority of distracted drivers today are distracted by their cell phones. These drivers make calls or read and send text messages while they are driving. Not only does this take their attention away from the road in front of them, it often means their hands are off the wheel. This can be a recipe for disaster and an inability for quick responses to hazards on the road.

Distracted Driver Laws

Every state has laws pertaining to cell phone use by drivers. Most states have made it completely illegal to text while driving in the state. Many have laws that prohibit using hand-held cellphones for calls while driving. Some states prohibit any use of a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle. These laws are in effect due to the overwhelming number of accidents caused by using these devices while on the road.

Distracted Driving Accidents

If in an accident caused by a distracted driver, the first thing to do is to stay as calm as possible. If able, the vehicle should be moved from the roadway. If there are injuries, contact emergency services or ask others at the scene to do so. It is also a good idea to contact local law enforcement to report the accident. The law enforcement official will also be able to cite the distracted driver on the scene.

It is also a good idea to contact a Car Accident Lawyer as soon as possible. They can help gather information needed to get compensation for any injuries and damages caused by the distracted driver. The lawyer can also assist in ensuring proper compensation is given to cover any and all costs that occurred due to the accident.
