Rural roads can be especially dangerous for a distracted driver due to their often unpredictable conditions, such as sharp curves, limited visibility, and the presence of wildlife. These roads typically have higher speed limits, which can result in more severe accidents when a driver is not fully focused. Additionally, the lack of traffic and fewer vehicles can lead to a false sense of security, encouraging distractions that can have grave consequences. Overall, the combination of speed and variable conditions makes rural driving particularly risky for those not paying full attention.
