Answer 2

NO............

The main causes for car accidents are reckless and negligent driving and alcohol.

Another reason is the inattentiveness of the driver. Many people talk while driving, which might prove to be fatal because it distracts the driver from the road.

Even though hands free mobile phones are the latest craze, the driver would be unable to concentrate on the road while on the phone.

The best option would be to park and then take the call, or not take the call at all while driving. These rules have already been implemented in a number of states.

Inattentiveness can also be caused due to alcohol, drugs, or the driver being distracted by music in the car.

This might prove to be perilous to other drivers on the road and might result in either distracting them with reckless driving or causing side or rear end collisions due to inattentiveness.

Such negligence can even cause pileups in highways and must be avoided at all costs.
