AAA: Distracted driving now biggest danger on roads

For the first time, districted driving is the biggest danger on the roads, according to a new AAA study. AAA’s annual Traffic Safety Culture Index found distracted driving now surpasses the menace of agressive, drunk, drugged and buzzed drivers. First released a decade ago, the index identifies and measures attitudes and behaviors Americans related to traffic safety. It found 88 percent of drivers surveyed said distracted driving is on the rise. Anything that takes your attention away from driving can be a distraction. Sending a text message, talking on a cell phone, using a navigation system, and eating while driving are a few examples of distracted driving. Any of these distractions can endanger the driver and others.
