Imagine this, it’s a beautiful day for a drive, the sun is out, windows rolled down, the music playing on softly, just a perfect day. Then a phone rings and decided to look down, just briefly, quick enough to remove the eye from the road. Bam! The vehicle collides with another vehicle causing a collision.
