Lets be safe this holiday season on our Florida roadways. We all know that it’s illegal in Florida to drive drunk but driving distracted can be equally deadly, and should be illegal as well.
Cell phone use while driving can be as dangerous as driving while intoxicated. The act of driving involves a person processing multiple distractions. For example driver needs to wash the car ahead, pay attention to kids along the side of the road on bikes, and deal with their own children wrestling in the backseat. At that attention to using a cell phone in the human ability to focus on the road is maxed out.
It is estimated by the national Highway traffic see the administration that nearly one in six of all crashes are caused by at least one form of driver distraction. Please don’t be a statistic this holiday season. Florida personal injury attorneys know too well the consequences of cell phone use while driving.
