The Dangers of Distracted Driving
Every time you drive, you face the risk of an accident even if your own driving behavior is safe and responsible. Unfortunately, sometimes we are at the mercy of other drivers around us, and if another driver is distracted, he or she could put you and your loved ones in danger. Thousands of people are harmed by distracted drivers every year in the United States, and many of these accidents could have been prevented if drivers were more responsible.

- Tailgating
- Abruptly starting or stopping
- Swerving into other lanes
- Not using turn signals
- Running red lights or stop signs
These behaviors are obviously hazardous and can put you and your loved ones in danger. Additionally, the financial costs of a car accident can be quite high and can leave people with a mountain of debt.
