Besides the inherent danger of driving while you are distracted (In 2008, 5,870 people were killed in crashes involving driver distraction, which is 16% of total fatalities), there are also serious liability issues that should concern you.

Who do you think the at-fault driver is going to be? More than likely, it will be the distracted driver.

Why should I worry about distracted driving?
