Distracted Driving: Why You Should Not Risk It

Distracted Driving: Why You Should Not Risk It

3,179 were killed and 431,000 were injured in 2014 alone via distracted driving car accidents. According to distraction.gov, distracted driving is “any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving.
