Distracted Driving Crashes in New York
When you drive, everything you do has an impact on other people. Sadly, it does not take long to run into a driver who is using their phone behind the wheel. It is common for drivers to do things that cause them to lose focus on the road. One of the numerous reckless actions for which New York drivers are infamous is driver distraction.
