Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), distracted driving is responsible for killing eight people per day in the United States. Choices A and B are incorrect because both talking on a handheld cell phone and texting while driving are forms of distracted driving, and text messaging actually takes drivers' eyes off the road for a longer time than talking on a cell phone. Choice D is also incorrect because driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is never safe and only adds to the danger of distracted driving.
