What would you say is the biggest cause of distracted-driving car crash deaths? You’d probably say cell phones. But you’d be wrong (they’re in second place).

Almost two-thirds of death-crashes are due to letting our minds wander! You’re thinking about thousand-and-one things when suddenly… caboom!!!

If this is you, or a driver in your family, mind-wandering risks can be cut by:

• Never driving when tired or angry, such as after an argument
• Avoiding talk-radio, podcasts, and audiobooks
• Keeping eyes on the road instead of admiring the scenery
• Avoiding talking to others, including use of hands-free phones

Never forget that driving is risky. You might find this distracted driving guide useful: http://tinyurl.com/distract-guide.
