The dangers of texting and driving in Ventura County

Distracted driving is such a serious problem that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has devoted an entire page on their website to bringing attention to the issue. According to the CDC, there are three main types of distracted driving:

  • A visual distraction that takes a person’s eyes off the road
  • A manual distraction that takes a person’s hands off the wheel
  • A cognitive distraction that takes a person’s mind off driving

As we work down these three definitions of distracted driving, it is clear that texting and driving checks all three boxes. According to the CDC, sending or reading a text while driving at 55 mph is the equivalent of driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

Data available from the California Office of Traffic Safety shows that nearly 38% of all drivers across the state see distracted driving caused by texting as the biggest safety concern on California roadways. Despite laws that have cracked down on distracted driving behavior, particularly using a mobile device, texting and driving continue to be a major problem.
