Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Nearly nine people are killed as a result of distracted driving every day in the United States.

Drivers who engage in distracted behavior have their eyes off the road almost 10 percent of the time.
When using Nevada's roads, there is never a 100% guarantee that you will stay out of an automobile accident. It just takes the actions of one reckless person to cause serious injuries in a collision.
