Cell Phones Can Cause a Serious Driver Distraction

Studies have found that the simple act of talking on a cell phone while driving or looking down to dial, can increase the risk of being involved in a car accident.  One such study was conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.  Researchers found that it only took three seconds of being distracted for the chances of being involved in an auto accident to increase.  Dialing a telephone number can easily take your eyes off the road for three seconds.

Some safety experts believe that drivers can get so wrapped up in a telephone conversation that they have trouble concentrating on the road. They may not be capable of recognizing road hazards, as there driving abilities become impaired.
