Peggy talks about what the insurance companies and other organizations have to say about the impact of distracted driving on auto insurance. She says it is not very consistent across the board, with different states taking different actions and different insurance companies having different tools and resources available.
She also discusses:
- The total estimated cost of all motor vehicle crashes in the United States—and how much distracted driving accounts for.
- The rules surrounding texting and driving from state to state, with a closer look at one state as an example.
- What the insurance companies are saying and doing about distracted driving—and how technology comes into play.
