Is Distracted Driving The New Drunk Driving? #Infographic

Published by Web Desk Sunday, February 7, 2016

Most people would be appalled at the idea of driving while drunk, but they wouldn't think twice about the idea of using a cell phone, eating a burger, or even putting on makeup while driving. Unfortunately, distracted driving may be risking just as many lives as driving under the influence of alcohol. In fact, according to a 2013 study, 26% of accidents include a cell phone distraction, and 80% of all accidents include at least one distraction. Distracted driving is a deadly epidemic, but it can also be prevented by individuals. Remember that you cannot react as quickly to avoid collisions or road hazards when your eyes aren’t fully focused on the road. Before you text a “lol” to your BFF from behind the wheel, remember that it might be the last text you ever send. Check out this infographic from Camera Source to learn more about the dangers of distracted driving.
