Smartphones & Car Accidents: A Frightening Correlation

It is an undeniable fact that more and more cars are coming onto the roads of America year after year. Either new cars for the model year, lightly used cars, or even antique cars that have been restored and the owners want to take them out for a drive. At the same time as there are more cars, there are also more and more distractions to take a driver’s attention from the road.

These distractions come in many forms, although by far the most common are smartphones. In fact, many experts estimate that during the major commuting hours of the day, as many as 660,000 drivers are actively using their smartphones, and another 400,000 thousand are distracted during non-peak hours.
