Our Commitment to a Safer Community
CR Legal Team Stands Up For You
You may have seen our ‘You Shouldn’t Be Reading This’ billboard on the road. The CR Legal Team is not only passionate about our clients, but we are also passionate about making our communities better places to live, work, and play. Distracted driving can take your life in an instant, and we believe in the importance of keeping your eyes on the road.
Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on one’s phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in one’s vehicle, fiddling with one’s stereo, entertainment, or navigation system — anything that takes a driver’s attention away from the task of safe driving.
Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes a driver’s eyes off the road for five seconds. At 55 mph, that is like driving the length of an entire football field with one’s eyes closed.
Individuals cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has each of their full attention. Any non-driving activity a driver engages in is a potential distraction and increases his or her risk of crashing. The CR Legal Team is here 24/7 to help you understand and use your legal options.

Three types of distractions:
Traffic safety experts classify distractions into three main types: Manual, Visual and Cognitive.
- Manual distractions are those where you move your hands from the wheel.
- Visual distractions are those where you focus your eyes away from the road.
- A cognitive distraction is when you’re mind wanders away from the task of driving.
Texting involves all three types of distraction.
