Don't be a distracted driver

When you’re driving, concentrate on driving. Sounds obvious but according to US data culled from police reports more than 5,800 people were killed and half a million injured in US car crashes last year as a result of ‘distracted driving’ meaning drivers were texting or on their mobile phones or fiddling with the radio or iPod or eating. That’s 16 deaths every day and that’s probably only the tip of the iceberg since identifying the real cause in some crashes especially fatal ones is difficult.

Even the auto industry backs making texting illegal. It’s a no brainer really.
