When a driver does not have his or her full attention on the road, an accident is far more likely to happen. Driving requires one’s complete and undivided attention. Taking one’s eyes off the road for even a moment may mean that an obstacle, traffic signal or change in traffic will go unnoticed. Driving while distracted may take on many forms: talking on the phone, texting while driving, eating, drinking, smoking, talking to a passenger, looking at a map or navigation system, adjusting the radio, rubbernecking, and more. A driver who is doing any of these things and causes a car accident in Philadelphia may be held accountable for driving while distracted, depending on the case.
