Presentation of the topic
Distracted driving refers to the act of driving while also doing other activities which take the driver’s attention off the road. These activities can include texting, talking on the phone, looking after children, or paying too much attention to the other passengers in the vehicle. Distracted driving is becoming one of the main causes of traffic accidents particularly because of mobile phones. Distracted driving has also been shown to affect teenagers more, because their brains are not fully mature and their multi-tasking skills are still developing.
Governments and software developers are trying to tackle the problem of distracted driving through legislation or apps that can prevent people from using their phones while driving or can alert the parents of teenagers when teens are not driving safely.
