With the limited resources of a single office looking into a solitary crash, that investigator was able to conclude that a defective ignition switch caused the car to lose power, veer off the road and collide with a guardrail.

Distracted Driving And Google Glass

Hands-free technology may be the solution to any number of real world problems, but distracted driving is not one of them. Some distracted driving laws have placed an emphasis on things that take a driver’s hands off the wheel. Texting is a primary example of an activity deemed too dangerous to for drivers to engage in.
