Distracted driving isn’t limited to texting, it involves any activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road. In Scottsdale, some of the most common causes include texting or talking on the phone while driving, which is explicitly prohibited under Arizona law.
Texting or talking on the phone while driving
Eating or drinking while behind the wheel

Talking to passengers or managing children in the vehicle
Grooming or other personal activities while driving
These distractions often lead to vehicle collisions, putting innocent people at risk of serious injuries and sometimes fatal injuries. Rear-end collisions and intersection crashes are particularly common outcomes of distracted driving.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT): In 2023, Arizona reported over 62,000 motor vehicle crashes involving some form of distraction. Additionally, in 2021, the state recorded over 121,345 car crashes, highlighting the ongoing risks on Arizona roads.
