texting and driving.

Cell phones have been known to distract drivers from concentrating on the road and causing numerous accidents. Let's say your boss wants the latest numbers from today's sales meeting, or a friend wants to set up a place to meet for lunch. You have been in traffic for a long time and you know it would take less than a minute to type a response with your thumbs, so you do.
You are taking a huge risk by doing this.  And then it happens ... the person in front of you stops more quickly than you expected and you crash into them.
During the claims process, your insurance company starts checking your cell-phone records following up to the accident. Now because you were texting right before the accident,  you've lost a claim and a ton of money, all because that text was “oh-so” important.  If you avoid text messaging in your car, you reduce your chance of a loss of a claim or a loss of a life. Texting while driving, or fiddling with with your cell phone in general, is a leading factor in accidents across the country. It takes one text to take your life away.
