Cell Phone Uses Causes Thousands of Accidents a Year

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that each year in the United States, car accidents related to cell phone use account for more than 200 fatalities and 500,000 injuries. NHTSA also reports that cell phone use causes one out of every four car accidents. In addition to talking and texting, taking photos, watching videos, and looking at GPS are becoming more and more distracting. It can take less than a second for an accident to happen. Basically, a driver is so distracted by their phone that they fail to hit the brake or move out of the way of other cars. BAM! It’s obvious that driving with one hand significantly lowers the driver’s ability to drive, especially in conditions that need require full control steering wheel, like driving on the freeway or in traffic. According to the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, all 50 states in America enforce an obligation on every driver to other drivers who share the road, which is to look out for the safety and welfare of every other driver. By intentionally engaging in distractive conduct by using their cell phone, the driver violates his duty of care to other drivers.
