Three Forms of Driver Distraction

Because texting a driving falls under all three forms of distracted driving, it can be considered one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving. Although texting and driving may only seem like a minor distraction to some, utilizing a cell phone while operating a vehicle actually falls under all three forms of distracted driving, which include:

  • Physical distraction: Physical distractions are those that remove a person’s hands from the steering wheel to participate in another activity.
  • Cognitive distraction: Cognitive distractions are those that remove a person’s thought process from the action of driving. When a person is texting, their attention has been removed from the road and has refocused on the act of texting and the conversation itself.
  • Visual distraction: Visual distractions are those that force a driver to remove their eyes from road conditions in order to look at another non-driving related entity.

Paul Van Der Walde was referred to me by a family friend. I was getting overwhelmed in my search for a personal injury attorney as there are so many. I am incredibly grateful for the work that Mr. Van Der Walde did on my case. I never felt intimidated by the legal jargon and instead felt like family. He has great knowledge and understanding of the law. We would never have gotten the results we did without a great law firm! My case was settled outside of court. Julia, Evangelina, Shawn, and Paul Van Der Walde are a great team! It is the best decision I ever made. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
