Most driver distractions are related to...
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
The **majority of distractions** while driving are related to the **psychophysical state and behavior of the driver**. This is due to several factors:
- **Physical and mental state**: Fatigue, sleepiness, stress, anxiety, and depression are conditions that affect the driver's attention. Additionally, the consumption of alcohol, drugs, or certain medications can impair concentration.
- **Driver behaviors**: Activities such as using a mobile phone, lighting a cigarette, using a GPS, looking at a map, or even eating and drinking while driving are common distractions that depend on the driver's behavior.

These distractions are more frequent in certain age groups, such as young drivers and those over 70 years old, and in specific situations, such as when there are several people in the vehicle or during long trips. Therefore, the **psychophysical state and behavior** of the driver are key factors in preventing distractions at the wheel.
