3 Seconds

Every year, almost 2000 Canadians die in traffic accidents, 94% due to human error, so what's going on behind the wheel that's causing so much grief and sorrow?

Our business partners at Travelers Insurance, along with their affiliates at the Travelers Institute, have worked diligently on reducing the major causes of traffic accidents. Sadly, distracted driving has now taken top spot in this category, surpassing impaired driving as number one.

Of course, any accident with human error as the cause can also be considered a preventable accident. Check out "Deadly Roads" or "Left Hand Turns" to read a bit more about the topic of preventable accidents, but suffice to say, we can do many things to reduce accidents.

Check out the video short above to get a visual on the full length Travelers Institute documentary "3 Seconds Behind The Wheel", produced in an effort to help reduce traffic accidents.
