Explanation
An inattentive driver is someone who is distracted or not fully focused on the task of driving. This includes drivers who attempt to use a phone, eat, apply makeup, or engage in distracting conversations while behind the wheel. It also includes drivers who only look straight ahead and fail to monitor their surroundings.
Inattentive drivers are more likely to miss traffic signs, signals, hazards, and changes in road conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. To drive safely, always keep your eyes moving, stay alert to what's happening around your vehicle, and avoid multitasking while driving.
