Deviating attention from the complex task of driving can be distraction. Driving requires the scanning of the road environment (front, sides and back), as well as monitoring dashboard and navigational tools. Shorter eye glance durations away from road are used for better scanning of roadside hazards, compared to longer eye glances that are riskier and considered distraction. Defining distraction as looking away from roadway for more than 2 seconds, this research analyses eye glances away from roadway for more than 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds and 3 seconds using variables such as total glance duration away from roadway, percentage glance duration from roadway and number of glances away from roadway using data collected from young, novice and experienced drivers. This research compares young, novice and experienced drivers, as well as first 6 months, next 6 months of novice licensed drivers by statistical analysis.
