When drivers’ eyes are taken off the road, every driver and passenger sharing the road is at risk. Technology is not required when drivers feel the need to “multitask.”
They become blind to their surroundings when eating, shaving, applying makeup or changing the radio station. Tragically, they fail to notice traffic stopping suddenly or drifting into another lane. Reaction times are not only reduced, but also eliminated.
The aftermath can be catastrophic, resulting in serious injuries and death.

Even taking your eyes off of the road for a few seconds is enough to cause a serious collision with another car, truck, bus, motorcycle or even a bicyclist or person in a crosswalk.
