text: When driving you have three distinct groups. The first one is visual distraction it involves taking your eyes off the road even if your looking at a GPS system or trying to check a child's seatbelt. The next one would be manual distraction it involves you taking your hands off the wheel. It happens when you are searching for something in a bag or trying to eat something. The last is cognitive distractions it happens when you are not mentally focused on the purpose of driving and instead everything else is important to you and the road is not.
