Napa PD Reminds Drivers:#ItCanWait - Don't Drive While Distracted Did you know that nearly a 1/4 of all accidents are caused by a distracted driver? Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. These include texting, talking on a cell phone, grooming, eating, using a navigation system, reading (including maps), and adjusting a radio– just to name a few. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driving a vehicle while texting is six times more dangerous than driving while intoxicated.
