The CDC (Center for Disease Control/gov) site describes the three sources of distracted driving and examines distracted driving in the context of a public health problem. Distracted driving occurs because of manual distraction ( for example, reaching for the smartphone), visual distraction (for example, looking at the phone screen) and finally cognitive distraction (not paying full attention to driving).
