The word "distraction" falsely implies that there was some external event that drew their attention away from their driving. A more accurate phrase would be "irresponsible drivers."

Most of them followed the same pattern:

Too much attention to distracting activity.
Too little attention to steering/controlling vehicle.
Vehicle drifts out of lane/off edge of road.
Sudden realization.
Panic!
Over-Correction.
Crash.

Definitely inexperienced drivers - what jumped at me is when the majority of them would finally look up, they would instantly yank the wheel, over correct and go into dangerous out of control spins. They've got to be taught NOT to do that, but gently steer, let off the gas, brake gently if at all.

These kids aren’t distracted, they wont even let the road distract them from updating their Facebook page.

A guy I work with said yesterday he was passed by a mom driving and texting, and 2 young kids, 1 in a car seat.

Who is placing these cameras in the vehicle, and why?
