With rates of accidents on the rise in the last few years due to
texting and driving
, you’ve picked a very important subject to present on.
The three main categories of distracted driving are:
  • Visual — when you take your eyes off of the road
  • Manual — when you have at least one hand doing something other than gripping the steering wheel
  • Cognitive — when your thoughts are not on driving and the other drivers around you
Altogether, distracted driving is not a complicated subject, but it has huge implications for your
driving record
. Along with being aware of your surroundings and focusing on driving safely, you also need to have the right kind of car insurance to protect you and your vehicle. Luckily,
