Hey, pay attention! April is distracted driving awareness month.
According to the Idaho State Police, teenagers make up the greatest number of distracted drivers and 20% of injury crashes in 2009 involved reports of distracted driving.
According to the University of Utah, using a cell phone while driving, whether it's hand-held or hands-free, delays a driver's reactions as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08.
Okay, those are just a couple factoids I thought I'd throw out there.
