Serious auto accidents and trucking accidents caused by distracted drivers are becoming much more frequent, due to the increasing popularity of hand-held devices. But there are many other driver distractions that cause serious injury accidents, including:
- Eating
- Reading a book
- Applying makeup
- Looking at a roadside crash
- Playing with a pet riding in the vehicle
According to a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), 80 percent of automobile accidents involve at least one form of driver distraction.
