-Every year, about 421,000 people are injured in crashes that have involved a driver who was distracted in some way.
-Each year, over 330,000 accidents caused by texting while driving lead to severe injuries. This means that over 78% of all distracted drivers are distracted because they have been texting while driving.
-1 out of 4 car accidents in the US are caused by texting while driving.
-Texting and driving is 6 times more likely to get you in an accident than drunk driving. That’s right, it is actually safer for someone to get wasted and get behind the wheel than to text and do it.
