According to the Army Safety Center: In 2009, 5,474 people were killed and an additional 448,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted driving on U.S. roads. Texting takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds at a time.
These statistics are from 2009. It seems to us that texting and distracted driving has gotten even worse.
Stay alert to stay safe and arrive alive. Remind friends and family to do the same.
