Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Distracted driving is a major problem on Nevada's roads. It has quickly risen to the top of the list of major collision causes in the nation. In the United States, distracted drivers caused 424,000 injuries and 3,100 deaths in a recent year. Additional statistics indicate that about 50 percent of these victims were not inside a car. Texting while driving is one of the most often listed activities among drivers between the ages of 15 and 20, who have a higher risk of being involved in distracted driving-related crashes. Distracted driving comes in many forms. Some examples of this careless conduct include eating, using a phone, and even having a conversation with a passenger. In the event of a serious auto accident, drivers who do not pay attention to the road should be held accountable for their conduct.
