MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - At the Monroe/West Monroe Business and Professional Women this week, Trooper Albert Paxton, with Troop F, Louisiana State Police gave a presentation "Distracted Driving:", which is quickly becoming one of the largest contributing factors in motor vehicle crashes.
Distracted driving includes everything from eating and drinking to cellphones to noisy children in the back seat, and is a major problem for drivers today.
Law Enforcement is beginning to focus on drivers who appear to be distracted while driving with the hope of making more drivers aware of their danger when they're paying attention to something other than their driving.
