Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
It is not uncommon for reckless drivers to neglect to pay attention to the road, whether it be looking at a GPS or talking with a passenger in the backseat. You can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text at highway speeds, and this is more than enough to cause a serious collision. Recent studies have found that driver distraction can be just as dangerous as drunk driving, and more than 3,000 people are killed in the United States each year due to distracted motorists.
