A groundbreaking government study
by researchers at Virginia Tech says
THAT behavior is even more dangerous
than you might think.

80- percent of crashes involve
drivers who are distracted.

This is actual video of a person
not paying attention and getting into a
crash.

Researchers videotaped more than
240 drivers for a year in the DC
metropolitan area.

They found 20 percent of all the
crashes involved drowsy drivers.

Compared to the plan approved
