Distracted Driving is not just a threat to truckers and the trucking industry, but to everyone. According to Truckinginfo.com the statistics on the destructive impact of distracted driving are staggering.
- 10% of all accidents are because of distracted driving
- 18% of all accidents where an injury occurred when distracted driving was involved
The statistics in the article go on from there. The message is clear. Driving while texting or using a cell phone increases your chance of getting in an accident exponentially. The penalties for driving distracted will probably get worse and worse as these numbers intensify. My guess is that if it does not abate, there will be penalties rivaling drunk driving. That may seem outlandish but the impact of distracted driving has become significant.
