Nevada Distracted Driving Crashes
Every driver needs to keep their eyes on the road and avoid major accidents. Sadly, a lot of drivers fail to pay attention while they're driving. The number of people driving while distracted is going up all over the country, and in Nevada, it's a big reason why major accidents happen. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) says that 3.1 percent of fatal accidents in Las Vegas are caused by drivers who are not paying attention. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), careless drivers kill more than 3,000 people every year on American roads.
