We’ve all heard about distracted driving. If you haven’t, perhaps you were distracted. A lot of drivers become members of the “It won’t happen to me club” once they begin to drive. They usually drive as they want expecting crashes will only happen to other people and not themselves. Do you belong to that club?…
