The death of this young woman is a tragedy for her family and community. Florida roadways can be extremely dangerous. Therefore, drivers need to always pay attention to their surroundings and keep their focus on the road. Some accidents cannot be predicted or avoided even with the best defensive driving. Other accident, however, are caused due to distracted driving or just plain carelessness. Distracted driving has become a major problem in the state of Florida. Forms of distracted driving include but are not limited to talking or texting on a cell phone, reading, grooming, eating, listening to loud music and talking to passengers in the vehicle. Drivers should keep these activities to a minimum and, therefore, decrease their chances of being involved in a collision or other automobile accident.
