Distracted Driving Lawyers Rhode Island Law Offices of Ronald J. Resmini, LTD. With virtually everyone owning a cellphone, cellphones have become a major part of our everyday life, and while the benefits of cellphones are numerous, using a cellphone has also proven to be extremely dangerous. Distracted driving has become even more prevalent due to Bluetooth technology and other “hands-free” technology that allows drivers to text and email while driving. Most people are aware of the dangers of texting and driving, and most people are probably also aware of the dangers of getting distracted while talking on cell phones while driving, even if people are talking on hands free devices. What most people are not aware of is, that distracted driving has become more dangerous than drunk driving, and is now the leading cause of death for teenagers in the United States.
