The Dangers of Cell Phone Use While Driving
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, drivers who use cell phones while driving are four times more likely to be involved in a car accident than drivers who don't. Whether by texting, using a handheld device, or even using a hands-free device, drivers who use cell phones while driving are a serious threat to other motorists.
