In years past, the most dangerous action a driver could take was to get behind the wheel of their car under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Today, cell phones provide an abundance of opportunities for distraction, a distraction which has been deemed just as dangerous if not more so than traditional impaired driving. Distracted driving as a result of texting for example has caused many wrecks, many of which result in personal injury cases. Thankfully, there is a new tool on the market that might have a positive effect on this negative trend. It is called the texalyzer.
