Kansas Distracted Driving Crashes
The road is already dangerous enough. It is downright deadly when drivers fail to look at the road. Driver distraction is a significant road hazard, and statistics show that distracted motorists have their eyes off the road nearly 10 percent of the time. There are many examples of this reckless behavior, and texting is likely one of the most common. You can travel the length of a football field in the time it takes to send a single text while traveling on state highways. More than 3,000 people are killed and 400,000 injured in related collisions each year.
