Although driving may seem to be a relatively simple task – particularly for drivers who have years of experience, it can be quite involved, and failing to pay attention to the road, even if it’s only for a matter of seconds, can result in serious motor vehicle accidents and injuries. While distracted driving has long been a problem for drivers, who may lose focus on the road to change a radio station, apply makeup or turn around to talk to someone in the backseat of the car, the ever-growing popularity of mobile devices (like cellphones, tablets and GPS systems) has made distracted driving an especially glaring problem.

In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 9 people die in distracted driving-related motor vehicle accidents and at least 1,060 people suffer injuries in these accidents every day in the U.S. The problem of distracted driving and its role in causing motor vehicle accidents has captured the attention of lawmakers and regulators, who are now passing new laws to try to curb certain behaviors (like cellphone use when driving) to try to reduce these accidents and make U.S. roadways safer.
