Distracted Driving
Distracted driving joins alcohol and speeding as a leading cause of motor vehicle injury collisions. Research has shown that talking on the phone while driving increases the risk of collision up to four times, while texting increases crash risk by at least eight times. It is estimated that every 30 seconds there is a crash involving cell phones in the U.S.
