Simply put, distracted driving is doing anything that takes your attention away from the task of driving. Specifically, the KnowYourDrive app considers handheld phone calls and active phone use when the vehicle is in motion (e.g., using GPS, minimizing screens, unlocking your phone, etc.) to be distracted driving.
Passive phone use is not counted as distracted driving and includes:
Hands-free phone calls
Listening to podcasts and music (Note: Selecting podcasts or music on your phone would be counted as a distraction)
