This NHTSA poll done by the Gallup organization should not only make you nervous about being on the road, but should also make you rethink your own driving habits.
The percentage of people who routinely engage in unsafe driving behavior (cell phone use, eating while driving, messing with the stereo, talking to passengers) is mind boggling. But you should take a moment to think about how many of these bad habits YOU practice on a daily basis.
Never forget that you are behind the wheel of a vehicle that is moving very fast. It would be a tragedy if you caused someone else to get injured or worse because you got distracted from your primary objective.
The NHTSA is offering a service that will automatically text message your phone or PDA with information regarding tires or child car seats.
We recommend signing up for this service as soon as possible, especially if you have children.
The NHTSA has just released their 2007 statistics of DUI fatalities by state, and the good news is that Texas' rate has dropped considerably.
