Distracted Driving Accidents in Florida
The NHAPA estimates that driver errors are responsible for more than half of all catastrophic motor vehicle accidents. Distracted Driving can be anything that takes your focus away from driving your vehicle. Some common examples include text messaging, talking on the phone, eating, talking to passengers in the vehicle, etc. There are many distractors on the road from signs, advertisements to mobile phones, it is quite nearly impossible to ignore all of them. Today, drivers are always checking their emails, text messages, or browsing the internet. Many experts have concluded that using a mobile device while driving a car is like driving drunk. Yet, most drivers on the road continue to do it. In Florida, for example, an officer investigating an accident must document whether any driver was distracted by an electronic device in their police report. In fact, under Fla. Stat. § 316.305, it is illegal to text, email, or send messages while operating a vehicle. Violators are subject to a $30 ticket for the first offense. A second offense within five years would be a moving violation, punishable by as much as a $60 fine and three points added to the driver’s record. Violation of the law is considered a secondary offense, meaning a police officer can’t pulls someone over for just texting. The driver must be committing another violation such as speeding or running a stop sign. If there’s an accident, motorists’ cell phone records can be used against them only if the accident results in death or personal injury. Even Cell phone manufacturers have also begun taking steps to curb cell phone use while driving. Apple phones have a Do Not Disturb feature that when enabled automatically detects when you are driving and prevents notifications from popping up on your phone.
