Streaming has made content easier to access, adding a layer of convenience for users. However, it is also increasing road risk, as more drivers use apps like TikTok behind the wheel – a clear form of distracted driving.
TikTok is built around short-form content. That means users can consume a full clip and get a quick dose of entertainment almost instantly. This is an especially tempting distraction for drivers, as it can feel like an easy excuse to sneak in a quick video while on the road.
Some drivers even watch longer videos that can last for hours. Others even livestream themselves or make content while driving, adding yet another distraction instead of focusing solely on the road.
