Inattention at the wheel expands beyond cell phones
California drivers embrace VCR DVD players fax machines and dashboard video screens while commuting. National figures estimate up to 30 percent of crashes stem from driver distractions and officials warn distractions could rise to 2000 annual deaths by 2004. Local police note growing use of in-car entertainment. California legislators consider bans on hand held phones to curb risk.
