Distracted Driving - New Report
A new report from the European Road Safety Observatory identifies driver distraction as a key challenge to road safety and a significant risk factor in traffic. The thematic report on “Driver Distraction” was released as part of the European Commission’s efforts to promote safe mobility across the EU.
The report highlights that car drivers are engaged in distracting activities for approximately 50% of all driving time. The most common sources of driver distraction are from using mobile phones, interacting with the vehicle’s information systems, interacting with passengers and eating.
