Grooming

When drivers take part in grooming activities, they put your life at risk. Grooming while driving is another form of distracted driving that can cause major accidents. Our car accident attorneys are here to help you build your case if you were injured by a distracted driver.

Grooming While Driving Can Lead to Serious Auto Accident Injuries

You’re probably seen it before: someone driving down the street while using an electric shaver, applying makeup, combing their hair, or even putting on their tie. While not discussed as frequently as other forms of distracted driving, like texting while driving, these driving behaviors put people in danger. Grooming while driving creates many types of distractions. Most grooming activities take at least one hand off the wheel, making drivers less effective at steering and increasing the risk for an auto accident. If the driver is looking in the mirror even part of the time, this creates visual distractions that make them less likely to see potential hazards. These distracted drivers also frequently experience cognitive distractions, as they are often thinking more about how they look than the road ahead of them.

Unfortunately, innocent drivers may pay the price for distracted driving. While there are no statistics breaking down how many people are injured in car accidents by drivers who are shaving, applying their makeup, or even flossing, we do know that distracted driving causes hundreds of thousands of crashes and injuries per year. Yet, many victims of distracted drivers find that seeking compensation is difficult after a car accident.
