What is "distracted driving"?

"Distracted driving" is engaging in any activity that takes your attention away, for any period of time, from the task of driving.  It isn't just texting and driving or talking on the phone while driving.  However, phone use, texting, and emailing are probably the most common forms of distracted driving.  It's a growing danger.  In 2012, 3,328 people were killed as a result of distracted driving.  That's about 9 people per day.
