Billboards, music, text messages, accident scenes...so many things can distract you from the most important task at hand: driving.

Sure, you know there's a long list of things you shouldn't be doing while you drive — texting, tailing, putting on makeup — but the road's not that crowded and what does it matter you're not paying attention to the road for just 5 seconds?

It matters a lot. In fact, your life depends on it.

At 55 mph, looking away for "just 5 seconds" means you're driving the length of a football field without looking at the road. A football field! 360 feet!

So whether you're texting, answering emails, changing albums on Spotify, taking your eyes off the road increases your chance of being a part of the 421,000 people a year injured in a crash involving a distracted driver, according to EndTextWrecks.org.

How safe of a driver are you? Take this quick quiz to find out. And, make a pledge to end text wrecks.
