- Eating
- Drinking

- Talking on a Smartphone
- Using the GPS
- Changing the Radio Station
- Putting on Makeup
- Shaving

There are three different types of distracted driving. Depending on what the driver is doing, more than one type could occur simultaneously.
Distracted driving increases risks of car crashes and is considered a risky and dangerous driving behavior. As such, many states have enacted laws in recent years that prohibit various distracted driving habits like texting and driving.
