Wheel of Distraction

You’re popular and have your car packed to capacity. Or maybe you are by yourself. Find out if having passengers in your car affects the way you drive, and if your percentage of risk of being in a crash changes depending on the time of day.

Hot latte or icy slurpee? Burrito or french fries? Applying your makeup? Adjusting the stereo? Having any or all of these distractions in your car can heighten the risk in causing a crash.

Reading a newspaper or a note, taking a phone call, and/or text messaging while you are behind the wheel all increases your chances of wrecking your ride.
