Turning down the volume however is a 1000 steps too far, and is actually pretty dangerous.

Edit: Some readers do not appear to believe this is a serious issue. The stats say differently. Distracted driving causes more than 3000 deaths a year in USA. More than 400,000 people are injured.

• “Adjusting radio/cassette player/CD” is the second most reported cause of distraction related accidents.
• Reaching for a cell phone increases your odds of getting in an accident more than 7 times.
• Reaching for a cell phone distracts a driver for 4.6 seconds, or the equivalent of the length of a football field, if the vehicle is traveling 55 miles per hour.
