Distracted Driving Accidents in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the most frequent causes of serious auto accidents nationwide. It caused 84 recorded crashes in Kansas in a recent year. Texting while driving is quite dangerous, and distracted driving can cause you to take your eyes off the road about 10 percent of the time. In the time it takes to send one text message, you could easily travel at highway speeds the length of a football field, and this is more than enough time to cause a life-changing crash.
