Driving Distractions That Can Lead To Atlanta Accidents

Distracted driving happens when a driver’s attention is pulled away from the road – either manually, visually or cognitively. These impairments drastically reduce a person’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.

  • Manual distractions involve taking hands off the wheel, such as eating, drinking or grooming
  • Visual distractions include looking at phones, GPS devices or dashboard screens
  • Cognitive distractions arise when the driver’s mind drifts, including daydreaming or deep conversation

Examples of distracted driving include texting, phone use (even hands-free), interacting with pets or passengers, adjusting music, and drowsy driving. They contribute directly to serious crashes in Atlanta and beyond.

The Devastating Impact Of Georgia Distracted Driving Accidents

According to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, more than 55 percent of Georgia crashes involve a distracted driver. In Atlanta, over 16 percent of observed drivers engage in distraction while operating a vehicle.

Injuries may include:

Emotional trauma, like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, can also impact victims.
