Driving While Distracted

Today a driver made a left turn directly in front of my older daughter. She was not injured tho her car may be totaled.

It was a sunny day with dry roads. Yet this sales rep turned into her path.

The only explanation that I can come up with is that he was either talking on the phone, texting, or looking at paperwork in his truck for the name of the contact at the business he was turning into.

Why do humans think that they can operate, what is in essence a lethal weapon, and take their attention away from the road for even a second?

Why do they think that something is so important that it cannot wait until they have parked?
