Distracted Driving Crashes in Nevada
Driving is already dangerous enough, and it is even more of a risk when drivers fail to pay attention to the road. Each year in the United States, driver distraction results in the deaths of over 3,000 individuals. In a recent five-year study, the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety (NOTS) found that distracted driving was a factor in over four percent of the state's fatal vehicle crashes.
