Ever tried to switch a CD or find a radio station while driving? Ever spilled coffee? Ever got so caught up in a conversation that you missed your turn - or worse, went through a red light? Ever seen other drivers reading the paper, or grooming themselves in the rear view mirror? Most of us have either observed or been guilty of multi-tasking behind the wheel. Drivers eat, use laptop computers, talk on the phone, and try to stop their kids from fighting. However, any distraction can be dangerous if it takes your attention off the road. While on the road, we are faced with many of these distractions. In fact, 45% of all collisions are caused by driver distractions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving causes one-quarter of the nation's 6.3 million annual automobile accidents.
