The Dangers of Distracted Driving
Common sense tells us it is dangerous to multitask while driving, and studies confirm it. A study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute shows that a truck driver is 23 times more likely to cause an accident when he or she is texting. Many jurisdictions have enacted laws against the use of cell phones and PDAs while driving, but it continues to be source of car and truck accidents.
Cell phone use and texting are not the only causes of distracted driving. Other examples include:
- Eating
- Personal grooming
- Operating the radio/CD player
- Tending to children in the car
- Driving with pets
