“Visual distractions are the most common type of distraction. They cause you to focus your attention away from driving and the road in front of you (even if it’s only for a split-second!) 

A visual distraction could be anything from taking in the scenery outside, seeing a wild animal, driving past a crash scene, or even just looking for items in your vehicle.

Of course, it’s natural to notice these types of visual distractions, but you can't risk giving them more than a brief glance while driving.”
