We might be using a GPS, eating something or changing the radio station. Those are all forms of distracted driving.
Austin has its own laws addressing this dangerous behavior. Regardless, whenever a driver isn’t 100% focused on safely operating a motor vehicle, they’re guilty of distracted driving.
Notwithstanding new laws and public awareness campaigns, distracted driving continues to occur regularly on every roadway in and around Austin. Accidents resulting from distracted driving can involve other motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and passengers. They’re caused by negligent driving and result in injuries and deaths that could easily have been prevented.
