Car Distractions

As a follow-up to a post a couple of weeks ago about multitasking in cars, here is another recent study by Bridge Ratings. Besides the multitasking we described, drivers are increasingly using satellite radio, MP3 players, cell phones and DVD players in the car.

As you can see, some of the older technology is being used less as newer gadgets are replacing them.

We continue to see teenagers involved in wrecks with the three leading causes being cell phone usage, adjusting the audio equipment and being distracted by friends in the car.

So parents; it would be wise to reinforce these for your teenagers. We know they think it will never happen to them and they are invincible but our experience gives us a different perspective.
