Distracted drivers are another cause of car accidents. Driving is a task that requires the
driver’s full attention, so performing other tasks while driving can lead to an accident. For
example, people who talk on their cell phone while driving are limiting their abilities, since
talking on a cell phone often requires the use of one hand and takes some concentration. Cell
phones are not the only distraction; drivers will often work on laptops, put on makeup, and do
other activities. If a driver is doing these things, he or she is not focused on the road. The driver
then may, for example, not notice if a car has
stopped in front of him or her and collide with that car. Drivers should wait until they have
reached their destination to perform other tasks, as such activities often lead to accidents.
