I was recently asked to represent a young woman who was violently rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light. It was 11:00 pm and she was on her way home from work. The driver who struck her was, at the time of the crash, on his cell phone. Transportation safety experts refer to such incidents as "distracted driving."
Distracted driving contributes to thousands of road deaths every year, causing some states to impose bans on using hand-held cell phones or texting while driving.
Put the phone away while driving. This simple bit of advice may save you and the people you share the road with from sever injury or worse. Take some time to read this news piece about Nationwide Insurance Safety Officer Bill Windsor.
