These days, distracted driving might well be the single biggest risk to getting to your destination in one piece. And it's only getting worse with DVD players already in some models, and wireless Internet coming in the next few years.

Whatever happened to two hands on the wheel, both eyes on the road? Now it's one eye on the road, one eye on the keypad, and one eye on the kids in the back seat. It just doesn't add up.

We want this craziness to stop. That's where you come in. We can bring sanity back to the roads.

Get the facts, below. Read actual stories from Car Talk visitors who have been in accidents caused by a distracted driver. Contact your state legislators. Put a "Drive Now, Talk Later" bumper sticker on your car.

Help us make the roads safer. You might even save the life of someone you know. No kidding.

And thanks.
