If you search the hash-tag #whiledriving on twitter, you’ll find countless pictures of distracted drivers. It has become a dangerous competition where drivers take to social media to show their followers risky actions they can complete while speeding down a highway. Posting on social media and texting while driving distracts drivers visually and mentally.  

If you live in Wisconsin, you may want to think twice about using your phone while driving. Even when traffic becomes slow in construction zones, using your phone can cost you a hefty fine after recent the creation of certain legislation. In the event of an emergency, however, cellular devices are allowed.

With lives centered around technology and communication, putting down the phone has become a difficult task for drivers. However, distracted driving is not something  to boast about, especially when it is often the source of numerous accidents.
