April is National Distracted Driver Awareness Month
Distracted driving continues to be a leading problem on roadways in the United States. In 2015, 3,477 people were killed and 391,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. The use of electronic devices while driving continues to be the leading cause of distracted driving. The U.S. Department of Transportation is leading the effort across the nation to stop texting and cell phone use while operating a vehicle. Text messaging requires your visual, manual, and cognitive attention, making it “the most alarming distraction.”
