We all know someone who has been caught driving with the phone to their ear or texting while driving, if not, the chances of that are increasing as officers are increasingly ticketing drivers for this violation.

It is pretty amazing that some people just don’t get it. If you are going to use the phone, use bluetooth, or a speakerphone. But don’t put the phone to your ear or even hold it up. Remember you need to be using a handsfree device.

And as far as texting… don’t get me started. I would guess, that a significant number of accidents are caused by drivers distracted texting and/or speaking on the phone.
