One Split Second: The Distracted Driving Epidemic - How It Kills and How We Can fix It

by Vijay Dixit, Antonia Felix

Our addiction to cell phones has made distracted driving a national epidemic. State patrol officers who deal with crashes every day see the phone as the new “open bottle” in the car that makes drivers impaired and dangerous. Add phones and other devices to the many types of distraction we already face—from tuning the radio to drinking coffee behind the wheel—and we have a crisis. But this crisis can be turned back if drivers make the right choice, the safe choice. One Split Second can help drivers make that best choice. This book is a one-of-a-kind resource that brings together real-life stories, facts and figures, fascinating research about our behavior behind the wheel, and expert perspectives on how we can end the distraction epidemic. It is a book no driver can live without.

Very Essential

This book is eye opening and is very impacting. Distracted driving is a problem that is no addressed on a high enough level. This book has changed my perspective entirely.

Excellent book. Honest and compelling outcome from needlessly losing his daughter to focussing his pain on trying to save future lives and helping other people deal with theirs. Certainly had a strong impact on me.
