Distraction at the wheel affects the driver's ability to perceive and respond quickly to unexpected situations. This can be dangerous, because a delay in reacting can lead to accidents or collisions. For example, if a car brakes suddenly in front of you and you are distracted, you might not brake in time to avoid a crash. In addition, distractions can make the driver miss traffic signs, pedestrians or other vehicles, increasing the risk of incidents. Keeping full attention on driving is crucial for road safety.
