Studies have indicated that auto accidents are increasing because of drivers being distracted by cell phones. This despite California banning the use of cell phones, absent a hands-free headset, in the vehicle.
What many people don’t realize is that it only takes a split-second of distraction to cause an accident thereby ruining the lives of others. A cell phone is just one more distraction that takes a driver’s eyes and ears off the task at hand: driving.
Cell phones present a myriad of issues: 1. The driver could be placing a call 2. The driver could be taking a call 3. The driver could be reading or composing a text message or 4. Just looking to see who is calling or texting.
Whatever the scenario, people’s lives are put at risk.
