Esurance, a direct writer of personal auto insurance, is offering teen drivers a technology solution that can help prevent distracted driving. The solution can block mobile phone calls, texts, email, Internet, and other smartphone applications while the car is in motion, keeping teens focused on the road, reducing distracted driving, and helping to save lives.
Esurance reports traffic accidents remain the leading cause of death for American teens. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the latest distracted driving data shows that 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver in 2011. An additional 387,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver.
