Distracted Drivers - A Leading Cause of Crashes

We hear it all the time, the phrase "distracted driving." Well, that's because distracted driving affects all of us. Whether it's talking on the phone, changing or charging a bluetooth device, eating/drinking, or worst of all, texting-and-driving - all of these actions and distractions, when done behind the wheel, can have catastrophic consequences for every other driver on the road. In fact, in 2020 alone, over 3,000 people were killed across the United States due to the carelessness and recklessness of distracted drivers.
