Texting contributes to driver distractions and car crashes | Toledo Ohio car accident lawyer
Distracted driving is on the rise and with that the number of automobile crashes that result from unsafe behavior. In the past drivers were distracted by the radio, and putting on make-up while driving. Now drivers are not only distracted by those things but their smart phones, mp3 players, Facebook, Twitter, sending a text message, reading a text that was received and their e-mails.Between 2008 and 2010 there were 31,024 crashes in Ohio caused by distracted driving. Seventy-one ended in at least one death, and 7,678 crashes caused injuries.
Distracted driving is any non-driving activity that has potential to increase the risk of crashing. Distractions can be visual - taking eyes of the road; manual - taking hands off the wheel; or cognitive - taking the mind off driving. Sending text messages involves all three.
It is dangerous to take your eyes off the road and every time you do you lose focus. Just taking a glance at the text or seeing who is calling is distracting and in the end could be deadly. Yes, it could be deadly, for a couple seconds your eyes are off the road, and could be looking down at your phone which in turn could make your wheel turn, or maybe you won't see the person in front of you stopping.
According to the National Highway Safety Administration 5,474 people died nationally in 2009 in distraction-related crashes, 18 percent involved cell phone use.
