Explanation
Using a cell phone while driving can distract you and cause a crash because it takes your attention away from the road. When you are on the phone, you are not focused on the task of driving, and your reaction time to unexpected events on the road is slower. Texting or reading messages require even more attention, as your eyes are off the road. In Idaho, using a cell phone or texting while driving while driving is illegal and considered an infraction.
