Distracted Driving: The Culprit Behind the Increase in Traffic Fatalities
A Single Moment of Distraction Can Cause a Lifetime of Regrets
Traffic fatalities were up substantially in 2016, with much of the increase attributed to driver distraction. In fact, distracted driving is poised to overtake drunk driving as the number one cause of accidents. Consider the following:
- By the end of the day, Americans will have sent more than 6 billion text messages
- Drivers using cell phones fail to see up to 50 percent of the information in their driving environment
- Sending a text takes your eyes off the road and your mind off driving
- Drivers using their cell phone have a slower reaction time than drivers with a .08 blood alcohol content
