Reaching for a soda in the drink carrier is an example of a manual distraction.<\/li>\n<li>Visual distractions are those where you focus your eyes away from the road. You drop your soda, and when it spills all over the floor of the car, you look down at your ruined shoes and stained slacks: that\u2019s a visual distraction.<\/li>\n<li>A cognitive distraction is when you\u2019re mind wanders away from the task of driving. You start to consider whether you can afford to replace the clothing you just ruined, and what stores have bargains this week, and you\u2019re no longer paying attention to the essential job of driving. Bingo: cognitive distraction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is why texting has such a bad reputation: it always involves\u00a0<strong><em>all three types<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0of distraction, all at once.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0lawyers of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
