Distracted driving has always been a problem that causes severe accidents on the road. These accidents often have dire consequences not just for the distracted driver but also to other drivers and pedestrians that they encounter on the road. There are three types of distracted driving; visual, manual, and cognitive. Simply put, visual distractions take the driver’s eyes away from the road, manual distractions remove a driver’s hand from the steering wheel, and cognitive distraction is when a driver’s mind wanders and takes his focus from the task.
