Distracted driving involves a diversion of attention from driving, because the driver is temporarily focusing on an object, person, task, or an event not related to driving, which reduces the driver’s awareness, decision-making, and/or performance, leading to an increased risk of corrective actions, near-crashes, or crashes.
