Distracted Driving Statistics
Each day, 10 people are killed in distracted driving crashes – contributing to the 37,000, according to NHTSA. Many drivers operate on a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ mentality about distracted driving.
According to a recent survey by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, nearly 80% of drivers believe texting while driving poses a significant danger, yet 35% report doing so regularly.
