Drivers on Cell Phone More Likely to Crash

Of course drivers on cell phones are more likely to crash!

I recognize this is not an article about photography but I feel like I have to bring it up. Today a Washington Post article titled “Drivers on Cell Phone More Likely to Crash” caught my attention. While I respect most of the Washington Post’s articles this one I think is totally stupid. Of course drivers on cell phones are more likely to crash doesn’t everyone know that? We are not able to multi-task safely in a car especially in a city enviroment. But then I learned that this brillant piece of research was paid for by insurance companies or officially the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety: http://www.iihs.org. I now know why I am paying higher rates on my car insurance even though I am a safe driver.

Let me share with you an important public safety tip that won’t cost you any money and should be common sense STAY OFF YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN DRIVING.
