North Carolina Personal Injury Lawyer Perspective:
Although the investigation is not complete, there is a strong chance that this tragic wreck involved distracted driving. According to the US government, 3,331 people died because of distracted drivers in 2011. It is vitally important that we do not allow ourselves to become distracted while we are driving. Some of the most common distractions behind the wheel are:
· Texting
· Talking on a cell phone
· Eating or drinking
· Grooming
· Talking to passengers
· Watching videos
· Using a navigation system
· Adjusting the radio
