Drivers Take Eyes Off Road While Texting
May 192010
Anyone one can see that this is an enormous safety hazard and that the key to improving your safety while on the road is to keep your attention and eyes on the road.
The study by the Virgina Tech Transportation Institute showed the average driver’s attention is distracted from the road for roughly 5 seconds (looking at their cell phone) before they crashed their car. Think about that for a second, that’s a long time when you’re going 55 miles per hour. If you are injured by someone who was texting while driving, we recommend that you consult with a Seattle personal injury attorney who can fight for your justice.
