For age groups 16-25 these are the #1 cause of car crashes. Everyone loves listening to the radio, plugging in a CD, playlist on our mobile phone. We are also doing other things that distract us from driving like adjusting the air, turning lights on and off, setting the GPS. More reasons this age group ranks #1 in for distractions that cause car wrecks.

• Picking up objects that fall to the floor while driving
• Distractions created by their friends, family & passengers
• Talking to others and not paying attention to the task at hand

Drag & drop editors are easy to use. Create sections and add image, text, embed code widgets etc. You can add polls, surveys, videos, files, docs & more. This is a screenshot of our cab drivers profiles page.

When Google algorithms started giving mobile tweaked websites an edge over those that weren't, we jumped way up in the search rankings. Hardly any of our competitors in our niche were mobile ready at the time.

You can switch back and forth from the desktop to the mobile view with ease until you are pleased with the way your website design looks. You can also scroll the mobile view editor to the bottom of the page. Make sure your paragraphs and images are aligned and spaced correctly.You have a choice of mobile templates which are different from laptop / desktop templates.
