What Is Considered Distracted Driving?
Driving is a complex activity that requires you to focus on a number of different things at the same time. You need to keep your eyes on the road, but you also need to pay attention to your speedometer, your mirrors, your blind spots, and more. It's also important to be aware of other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and animals.
With so many things to pay attention to, it's no wonder that so many drivers get into accidents. When you add cell phones and other electronic devices to the mix, you are making an already dangerous activity even more dangerous.
The following are considered to be distracted driving:
- Talking on a cell phone
- Texting while driving
- Using a handheld device while driving
- Using a cell phone while stopped at a red light or stop sign
- Using a navigation system while driving
If you are caught engaging in any of the above activities while driving, you can be pulled over and ticketed by law enforcement.
If a distracted driver caused your accident, you may be able to sue the driver who hit you for compensation. Under Oklahoma's strict liability laws, the driver who hit you may be responsible for all of your damages if you can prove that they were engaged in distracted driving at the time of the accident.
