Explanation
When a driver is distracted, their attention is diverted from the road and the driving task at hand. This results in a slower reaction time to hazards, as the driver is not fully focused on the road and the surrounding environment. When a driver is distracted, they are less likely to notice visual and audio cues, such as a pedestrian crossing the road or a car making a sudden stop, which increases the likelihood of a crash. Drivers should minimize distractions and remain fully focused on the road at all times.
