According to the NHTSA and CDC, some of the most common causes of distracted driving include:

Texting while driving
Eating
Drinking
Reaching for your phone
Talking to another passenger
Turning knobs in your car, such as adjusting your temperature controls
Checking and adjusting your GPS/navigation system
Adjusting the radio station or infotainment system
Reaching for objects

Texting may be the most alarming, though, according to the NHTSA. Reading or sending a text tends to take about five seconds — at 55 mph, that’s like driving an entire football field with your eyes closed, the site says.
