Using a cell phone or other electronic device while driving has led to an increase in distracted driving accidents nationwide. Cell phones have become an indispensable part of our lives. But studies have shown that any use of a cell phone to read, write or send messages while operating a vehicle is six times more dangerous than drunk driving.
Distracted Driving and SR22 Insurance
Many states are considering and enacting distracted driving laws. This is in response to the widespread use of cell phones and other electronics while driving. Texting and driving in particular is more likely to result in accidents than DUI or DWI by alcohol or drugs. Repeat distracted driving offenses can result in loss of your drivers license, requiring you to buy SR22 insurance for reinstatement.
