Distracted Driving Solutions Offered by Phone Company

Distracted driving, whether it is from talking on a cell phone, texting while driving or some other form of distraction can lead to accidents and moving violations. Cell phones are one of the most common causes of distracted driving and believe it or not, some phone companies are offering a new service that would disable rings and alerts while driving and send any callers directly to voicemail thus cutting down on unnecessary driver distraction.

Increased Risk of Accidents

Research studies have shown that those who drive while talking on a cell phone are four times more likely to get into an accident; texting while driving is even worse. This combination is especially bad for teens that do not have sufficient driving experience and are more likely to make driving mistakes in general.

Moving Violations in Florida

A moving violation includes any traffic violation which occurs when one is driving a vehicle such as running a stop sign, running a red light, making illegal turns and more. In the state of Florida, moving violations can accumulate and result in points that are calculated against you. With enough points accumulated, your driver's license can be suspended or revoked. Additional moving violations that you can be stopped for include:

• Failing to yield to emergency vehicles while driving
• Passing a school bus that is stopped
• Excessive acceleration
• Failing to obey posted traffic signs

Distracted driving can be a major cause of moving violations; if you or someone you know has been cited for a moving violation in the Fort Meyers or surrounding area, you should consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. By working with an attorney, you may be able to avoid having points placed on your record and through a proper defense strategy, keep your record clean.
