چکیده
Distracted driving, though not a new phenomenon, has attracted significant attention in recent years due to the proliferation of cell phones and other portable technologies that are often used behind the wheel. Experts generally agree that driver distraction stems from three sources: visual (eyes off the road), manual (hands off the wheel), and cognitive (mind off the task). Of these, cognitive distraction is the most difficult to observe and measure. While there is evidence of public and policymaker understanding of the risks involved with visual and manual distractions (especially texting while driving), there appears to be less appreciation for the risks involved with cognitive (or mental) distractions. Despite this, existing research has found evidence of the effects of this third source of distraction, suggesting that hands-free does not mean risk-free.
