Driver A keeps to the speed limit but looks down to change a playlist. The car drifts off the road and hits a mailbox. No one is hurt. Which statement is correct under Pennsylvania law?
Correct answer: Driver A can be cited for careless driving, even without speeding.
Why
Anything that takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the wheel or your attention away from driving is a distraction. Set up music, navigation and mirrors before you move. Careless driving is a 3-point violation, and reckless driving can lead to a license suspension. Driver distraction and inattention cause about 25 to 30 percent of police-reported crashes.
