15 Common (Some Stupid!) Reasons for Car Accidents

2) Distracted Driving

When you are driving, whatever you’re driving, your only job is to safely operate your vehicle. It’s ironic that while texting and driving (loosely enforced) is against the law, the nine-inch touch screen on your dashboard isn’t considered distracting, or illegal. The average text can take your eyes off the road for an average of five seconds. Finding a station on satellite radio can take even longer. Even with controls built in to the steering wheel of newer model cars to handle your calls, texts and music choices are still taking your focus away from where it should be, ON THE ROAD! Distracted driving continues to be the number one leading cause of car accidents in America.
