According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on a cell phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in the vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes a drivers attention away from the task of safe driving.

The SPD Chief reminded the public that although safety steps are often taught to children by ‘looking both ways’, children can and will become distracted. Operating a motor vehicle comes with the personal responsibility to help keep neighborhoods and communities safe.

The NHTSA states, parents first have to lead by example — by never driving distracted — as well as taking time to speak with their young driver about distraction and all of the responsibilities that come with driving.
