But when you're listening to music or changing stations, be sure to keep your eyes on the road. Nearly 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes involved some form of driver inattention within three seconds before the event, according to an analysis by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
A separate report sponsored by the NHTSA found that "adjusting the car radio" (65 percent) and using a portable music player in the car (30 percent) are among the most commonly performed potentially distracting behaviors while driving.
