According to the National Safety Council, nine Americans die and 100 sustain injures every single day due to texting while driving. Everyday across the world, thousands of people are injured and some die in vehicle crashes caused by drivers texting and driving. It can happen to anyone. No one is immune from getting into an accident because they are texting and not paying attention to the road and other vehicles.
According to Texas auto accident attorney, Brooks Schuelke, by “taking your eyes off the road is perhaps one of the single most dangerous things to do while driving, it is against the law in Texas to text and drive.”
Here are some other distractions while driving aside from texting:
* GPS
* Talking to a passenger
* Talking and texting
* Adjusting controls
* Adjusting music
* Makeup application
* Shaving
* Not looking at the road (sightseeing)
* Handling children
* Handling loose pets in the car
