Distracted Driving Accident Overview

Texting and Distracted Driving Accidents in Upstate New York

Texting and distracted driving have become a common problem on public roads as technology advances. New York was the first state to ban talking on a handheld device while driving. Since then, a new law was passed prohibiting the use of a handheld device - sending or reading messages and e-mails - while driving. These laws were passed because distracted driving contributes to a vast amount of accidents on the road.

Distractions can include the following:

  • Texting
  • Eating and drinking
  • Grooming
  • Talking with other passengers
  • Pets in the vehicle
  • Multitasking  
  • Talking on a hands-free mobile device
  • Reading maps or GPS
  • Adjusting the music player

Regulations targeted at decreasing distracted driving habits are meant for automobile drivers, as well as truck drivers. To avoid serious accidents, motorists should drive attentively and defensively.
