Distracted driving is a contributory factor in more than 5,000 traffic related deaths each year.

Although drivers can become distracted in many different ways, the main distraction is cell phone use.

Different states have different laws on the use of cell phones and some ban hand held cell phones but allow hands free technology. However, just by communicating via a cell phone, even hands free, will make drivers distracted as they concentrate more on the phone than on the road ahead and their surroundings.

Currently, no state bans all cell phone use, but more employers are banning their employees even from using hands free devices as evidence reveals that they too lead to the driver becoming distracted. For example, it has now been proved that voice to text is more distracting than actually typing the words into the phone.

In order to prevent distracted driving do not use your cell phone while driving, whether hands free or not.
