The five main distracted driving behaviors include using a mobile phone, picking up items, operating navigation devices, eating or drinking, and excessive conversation with passengers. Using a mobile phone is the most dangerous distracted behavior-whether making or receiving calls, sending text messages, or browsing social media, it significantly increases the risk of accidents. Data shows that the probability of an accident occurring while looking at a mobile phone is 23 times higher than that of normal driving. Bending down to pick up items may cause the vehicle to lose control; for example, when picking up a fallen cup of milk tea, the vehicle may drift out of the lane. Frequent adjustments to navigation or checking maps can distract attention, so It is best to set the route before departure. Eating or smoking not only requires operating the steering wheel with one hand but may also impair visibility due to food residues or smoke. It is best to prepare before driving, stay focused during the journey, set the mobile phone to do-not-disturb mode, and pull over to a safe area to handle other matters when necessary.
