Answer 3

Of course you think you can drive while listening to the radio, talking on your cell phone and eating, with kids and pets in the back seat. Who doesn’t?

Every single person who had an accident from being distracted thought he or she could handle such “multi-tasking,” right?

So just how big a distraction are distractions? Last year, only 4,300 accidents were caused by the major distractions. Oh, that’s 4300 a day.

Otherwise known as 3 a minute around the clock, or, one quarter of all auto accidents, or 1.5 million a year.

(Technically, almost all accidents are caused by someone “being distracted,” but we’ll settle for a quarter due to specific, known distractions.)

Answer 4

It happens because precautions were rarely taken to prevent these tragic events.
