Boise personal injury attorneys at Parke Gordon have handled many inattentive or distracted driving cases. Distracted driving is dangerous. In 2015 alone, 3,477 people were killed in a car accident from a distracted driver according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Approximately 660,000 U.S. drivers use a cell phone while driving during daylight hours. Teenagers have the largest fatality rate from distracted driving.
Every driver can make more of an effort to stop distracted driving. Here are a few ways the auto lawyers at Parke Gordon recommend.
Studies have shown texting while driving is the equivalent to drinking four beers and then driving. Texting while driving is 6X more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk. One out of four car accidents are caused by texting while driving. Answering a text in just five seconds takes your attention away long enough to travel the length of a football field if you were traveling 55 mph.
