For many people, cars are one of the simplest ways to get to their destination. Despite the growing use and popularity of the Toronto subway system, in many cases, this form of transportation is not feasible due to time constraints or the distance you must travel. This means that thousands of cars are on the road each day across the city. If drivers are attentive and maneuver effectively, road traffic can move quickly and relatively safely. Nonetheless, drivers are often distracted by their phones or radios, rushing to get to their destination, or driving recklessly for many other reasons. These drivers are far more likely to cause an accident, which places all other drivers on the road at greater risk for a serious injury.<\/p>\n
