Distracted Drivers Cause Accidents

Distracted Driver

Hand-held cell phones have changed how we communicate with each other. They allow us to connect with family members, friends or co-workers at virtually anytime from anywhere.

Unfortunately, "anywhere" often includes vehicles and that's created a big problem. Watch a distraction video, that shows how it affects your driving.

Studies show that 80% of all crashes are related to driver inattention and the number one source of driver inattention today results from drivers talking or texting on cell phones.

That's why when you're on the road, stay off the phone.

No matter how old you are, what you do for a living or the number of years you have been on the road, using a cell phone while you're behind the wheel is dangerous.
