Distracted Driving is About More Than Just Texting

There’s been a lot of fuss about texting while driving lately – and rightly so. However, the fact is that drivers can be distracted by a variety of different things. Just because the cell phone is put away does not necessarily mean you’re home free.

Anything that takes your attention away from the road is potentially fatal. The list of distractions is as multifaceted as America. Food, pets, makeup and even music (if it’s too good) can be dangerous for drivers, especially the careless and the inexperienced.
