Distracted driving claimed the lives of over 3,000 people in 2011 and, sadly, a figure like this one won’t simply disappear. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) even created a new form of measurement for fatalities resulting from distracted driving, known as “distraction-affected crashes.” So, how can we get that number down to zero? Awareness plays a big role in accident prevention and with that in mind, read on to find out more about distracted driving behaviors and how you can correct them.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray: The 'Vette Chevy should have built a decade ago Back in January, on a rainy Detroit evening, seated in the second row of what will likely be remembered as the historic unveiling of the 2014 Corvette Stingray, I could do little but be overtaken with Corvette fever.
