While technology has\u00a0brought many advances to make vehicles safer, technology has also brought advances that has made driving much more dangerous – namely the development of iPhones, Droids, and other devices. \u00a0Just about every driver on the roads owns and travels with a mobile phone device. \u00a0Certainly, having a mobile phone while traveling can make the driver, work, and personal errands a bit more efficient and\u00a0effective. \u00a0You can call ahead for reservations. \u00a0You can call a work colleague to re-arrange\u00a0appointments and check e-mails and text messages. \u00a0However convenient that a mobile phone has made life in general, it is made the operation of a motor vehicle so much more dangerous. \u00a0A troubling survey was completed which place the State of\u00a0Florida as the second worst state in the United States for distracted driving. \u00a0The survey which was conducted by Everquote, Inc., an online insurance company, reported that 92 percent of drivers who owned\u00a0mobile phones\u00a0used the mobile phone in a moving vehicle. \u00a0While it is lawful in the State of Florida to make and receive calls during vehicular travel, this\u00a0does not mean that it is safe to do so for many\u00a0people especially those who are poor drivers to begin with. \u00a0Anything that causes a distraction for some drivers can lead to an\u00a0automobile accident.<\/p>\n
