Due to the heavy amount of traffic on Florida roadways, Florida drivers need to be extra cautious. Drivers need to refrain from distracted driving behaviors, which include but are not limited to: eating or drinking, texting or talking on a cell phone, excessively talking to other passengers inside the vehicle and grooming. These behaviors take a driver’s attention and focus off the roadway and can be fatal.
