What “Visual Distractions” Means
Visual distraction is eyes-off-the-road driving: reading a text, checking a navigation screen, looking at a billboard or crash scene, turning to passengers. At 55 mph, a five-second glance travels a full football field blind.
Why It Matters in Your Texas Case
Visual distraction proves through consequences: no braking before impact, drift across lanes, and the physics of a reaction that never came. Discovery adds the source — phone records, infotainment logs, app timestamps. Texas’s texting ban makes the most common visual distraction a statutory violation, strengthening negligence claims (negligence per se where applicable). McKay Law’s reconstruction-first method turns “I only looked down for a second” into the admission it is.
