Nevada Distracted Driving Accidents
When you share the road with a distracted motorist, no one is safe. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous things you can do behind the wheel, but unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common every year. You can travel the entire length of a football field in the time it takes to send in a text when traveling at highway speeds. More than 3,000 people are killed annually by distracted drivers each year. In 2019, nearly 9 percent of traffic fatalities involved distracted motorists.
