Car Accidents
One of the number one causes of car accidents is distracted drivers. Every year, anywhere from 20 to 50 percent of all car accidents occur because the driver of the vehicle is distracted. There are a number of reasons why a person might be distracted when they are driving. First is what is known as "rubbernecking". Rubbernecking is when the driver slows down to look at another accident or to look at something on the side of the road. When you look to the side, you may automatically make your car follow where you're looking, which can cause a disastrous accident.
