Distracted Driving is Dangerous Driving

In this day and age of smart phones, it is extremely easy to succumb to the temptation to text, or simply look at your phone while driving.  Even a quick glance down at your phone can have deadly consequences because it is simply impossible to pay attention to what is happening around you, if your eyes are on your phone.  The reality is no matter if it is a phone, a rambunctious child in the back seat, or a meal you are trying to eat, being distracted can result in you causing, or being involved in a motor vehicle accident.

Studies show that teenage drivers are particularly susceptible to being distracted while driving.  Most state laws prohibit teenage drivers from using electronic devices, or phones while driving.  If you have a teenage driver make sure you set strict rules about radio and phone use, and encourage their good habits by modeling your own good habits and caution when you are driving.  The reality is that there is no text, or email that is worth your life, or that of an innocent party that comes into contact with you the distracted driver!
