What does distracted driving encompass?

Distracted driving encompasses a broad range of activities that take a driver's attention away from the primary task of driving. This includes not just texting and talking on a phone, but any activity that diverts focus from safe driving practices. Examples can range from adjusting the radio or GPS, eating and drinking, interacting with passengers, or even daydreaming. The key aspect of distracted driving is that it compromises the driver's ability to stay focused on the road, thereby increasing the risk of accidents.

The other choices are too narrow in scope. Limiting distractions to only texting, talking, or electronic devices ignores the many other potential distractions a driver may face. Additionally, non-driving related conversations, while they can be distracting, are just one element of a much larger array of distractions that a driver might encounter.
