The Need To Address Distracted Driving
Distracted driving occurs when drivers engage in any non-driving task which takes their eyes, hands or mind off the road while driving. This behavior is dangerous and poes risk to all the road users. In 2019, road crashes due to distraction claimed 3,142 lives and resulted in an estimated 424,000 additional people injured in 2019.
