From 2009 to 2011, the amount of text messages sent has increased by nearly 50% and is still on the rise today. Over 1/3 of drivers have sent or received text messages while driving; 18% of people admit to doing this regularly. However, distracted driving is not just texting while driving - it also includes eating, talking on the phone, reading, and anything else that takes your concentration off the road.
Driving with all of life's distraction is a growing epidemic. I've put together a few short videos with additional information and statistics - take a look and I welcome any suggestions on how we can get the word out to help prevent distracted driving.
