Who would’ve thought that picking your nose would be #3 on a list of distracted driving reasons. Of course, it’s no surprise that texting and reading are the top two reasons. The truth is, it only takes a few seconds of distraction to result in a serious life-altering accident. Even if you think you have the road to yourself, an object may suddenly appear in your path making split-second decisions all the more necessary.
