Driver distractions cause many collisions.

Examples:

Changing a radio station.
Talking on a cell phone.
Turning your head toward a passenger to talk to them.
Reading a map etc.
Eating.

Some states have or are expected to make laws where these are
violations. For safety sake, do not even make a hands-free cell phone
call. For your financial sake, realize that these may now be a driving
offense.
