Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Driving requires complete focus, but it seems like many drivers find this to be too difficult. The primary cause of serious crashes across the country has become distracted driving. In the United States, distracted driving caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 fatalities in a recent year. According to the statistics, one in five of these deaths was outside of a car. Although there are many other forms of driver distraction, texting and driving is arguably the most prevalent. At highway speeds, you could easily cover the length of a football field in the time it takes to send one text message.
