Why does distracted driving cause accidents?

Driving is a privileged activity that requires one's full attention. A driver should have both hands on the wheel and his or her eyes on the road, also paying attention to cars or objects in his or her vicinity by checking side and rearview mirrors. Particularly in heavy weather or at night, a driver should exercise caution in looking for potential obstacles in the road, observing the flow of traffic and obeying traffic signals. When a driver takes his or her attention from the road for even the smallest amount of time, this opens the window wide open for an accident to occur. It only takes a split second for a driver to unintentionally swerve from his or her lane into another vehicle, to fail to notice that a stop light has turned red or to rear-end another vehicle because he or she did not see that traffic had slowed or stopped ahead.
