Billboards, music, text messages, accident scenes...so many things can distract you from the most important task at hand: driving.

Sure, you know there's a long list of things you shouldn't be doing while you drive texting, tailing, putting on makeup but the road's not that crowded and what does it matter you're not paying attention to the road for just 5 seconds?

It matters a lot. In fact, your life depends on it.
