Defining Distracted Driving In Texas
Distracted driving includes any activity that takes a driver’s eyes, hands or focus off the road, and Texas law bans texting while driving and restricts handheld device use in school zones and for certain drivers. Distracted driving takes many forms, including:
- Texting or talking on a cell phone
- Browsing the internet
- Eating or drinking
- Personal grooming
- Adjusting the GPS or radio
- Talking with passengers
Any distraction behind the wheel can be dangerous. A driver who looks away for just two seconds can travel hundreds of feet at highway speed, and these brief lapses in attention cause thousands of serious car crashes every year.
Distracted Driving Statistics And Common Injuries
The NHTSA reports that distracted driving killed 3,208 people in the United States in 2024. Drivers aged 15 to 20 consistently rank among the highest-risk groups on the road, with cell phone use being one of the most common and deadly forms of distraction.
Distracted driving crashes often cause injuries such as:
- Whiplash: Neck and back strain from the force of impact
- Traumatic brain injuries: Head trauma from striking the dashboard or window
- Broken bones: Fractures to the arms, legs or ribs
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage that can cause chronic pain or permanent paralysis
- Soft tissue injuries: Muscle and ligament damage that may require extended treatment
These injuries can change your life in ways you never expected.
