Results showed that the zone and the vehicle type seem to increase significantly the probability of being unlicensed when engaging in distracted behaviors. Indeed, the probability of being unlicensed when driving motor vehicle and having DD increases from 6.11% to 9.46% on the road and to 42.93% on highways. However, in the case of motorcycles, the probability of being unlicensed when presenting DD increases from 6.11% to 16.89% on the street, 27.42% on the road and to 73.11% on the highway.
