The dangers of texting and driving
As we become more reliant on our phones for navigation while driving, people everywhere are becoming more in tune to the dangers of distracted driving.
This shift in public discourse is very understandable, as recent data shows that over 400 people were killed in 2017 due to cell phone use while driving, accounting for 14% of all distraction-related fatal crashes. In 2016, over 80% of drivers polled thought that texting and driving was a problem likely to keep getting worse.
