A recent survey by the RAC highlights the dangers of distracted driving, revealing that 63% of UK drivers experienced errors attributed to distractions, with passenger conversations and daydreaming as the main culprits. The study, which involved 2,691 participants, found severe risks such as missing turns and nearly colliding with other vehicles. Other distractions included interactions with touchscreen devices and non-driving activities like grooming. This reinforces the importance of awareness regarding various distraction sources beyond the commonly perceived mobile phone usage, urging drivers to maintain focus on the road.
