Distracted Driving
Distracted driving becomes a larger threat to our roads every year and has been the leading cause of car accidents for decades. There are 3 major categories of distracted driving: visual distraction, physical distraction, and cognitive distraction. A driver who is texting while driving is visually distracted because his eyes are not on the road, physically distracted because both of his hands are not on the wheel, and cognitively distracted because his mind is elsewhere.
Speeding

Speeding is dangerous. Serious car accidents occur every day because of speeding. Although it may be tempting to push the speed limit when you are running late, speeding is the second most common cause of car accidents, so you should resist the urge and stay within the legal limits.
Running Red Lights

Red always means stop. Even if it seems like no other cars are coming, running through a red light is breaking the law. Serious accidents occur every day as a result of drivers running through red lights.
Drunk Driving

Drunk driving is one of the most dangerous causes of accidents in the U.S. and is the most deadly. Drunk driving may make liability not only clear, but aggravated. If you have had anything to drink, take an Uber, taxi or give your keys to a sober friend. It is not worth the risk.
Reckless Driving
