The issue of distracted driving has become a hot-button safety topic in the past year and has generated a great deal of discussion about solutions to this growing problem. The group behind the simulator has come up with a few terms related to the distracted-driving phenomena. We’re not sure whether these will make it into Webster’s Dictionary, but here are a few of our favorites.
Textgating: Like tailgating, this refers to driving dangerously close to another car because your attention is focused on texting or other distractions.
Textident: A collision caused by someone who's too busy with their phone to drive safely.
Smerge: The combination of swerving and merging due to driving distracted.
Crash-test dummy: Someone who will likely get into an accident due to using a phone, texting or some other distraction behind the wheel.
