Distractions surround us, increasing the likelihood of such incidents. Every year thousands of people are injured around our state as a result of some type of accident of this sort.
Research studies show, for example, that the number of cell phone subscribers has grown from 94 million in the year 2000 to about 130 million today. It has been estimated that 6 percent of automobile accidents are caused by drivers talking on their cell phone. This means that a total of 2,600 people will die in cell-phone related car accidents this year.

Around 98 percent of reported accidents involve a single distracted driver concentrating not on the road, but rather on one of the following:

  • Rubbernecking (16%)
  • Driver Fatigue (12%)
  • Surroundings (10%)
  • Child/Passenger Distraction (9%)
  • Adjusting Radio/CD (7%)
  • Cell Phone (6%)

Many causes are due to:

  • drunk driving
  • drowsiness
  • distractions
  • cell phone misuse
  • agressive driving
  • poor road conditions
  • mechanical failure
  • speeding
