We all have a duty to prevent causing serious injury to ourselves and others on the road. Sadly, many drivers use their phones while operating a car. In Nevada, distracted driving is a major factor in many of the state's catastrophic collisions, and it’s on the rise nationwide. According to data from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), 3.1 percent of fatal collisions in Las Vegas are caused by distracted driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), careless drivers kill over 3,000 people annually, with hundreds of thousands of more being seriously injured.
