How Distracted Driving Accidents Occur

The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that any action or behavior which causes you to take your eyes of the road, your hands off the wheel, or your mind off the complex task of driving for even a few seconds puts you and others on the road in danger. When people think of distracted driving, they often think of texting or making calls while behind the wheel. However, it may also include any of the following:

• Changing radio or GPS settings;
• Using your cellphone to take photos or videos;
• Eating fast food or drinking coffee and other beverages;
• Reaching for items in the glove department or backseat;
