What if we kept our cell phones off while driving?

My husband and I have a continuing conversation concerning dangerous car drivers. He thinks women are the worst.

I say its both species. What we both agree on is that cell phones add a substantial increased level of distraction. A survey conducted last year by the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company discovered that 19% of drivers text message while driving. Nationwide also found that 73% of motorists talk on cell phones while driving.

They also found that drivers who use cell phones are four times as likely to get into accidents than those who don’t.

I think both my husband and I can agree its important to hang up and drive.
