(Sacramento, California) A new report released by the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF) reveals that there were approximately 13,800 deaths in the United States due to fatal accidents where distracted driving was the primary factor. Based on 2022 data, the report indicates that distracted driving was the primary factor in 30% of fatal crashes during the year.
During April 2023, which is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, local and state police are partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the annual “U Drive. U Text. You Pay” campaign, which aims to raise awareness among drivers to avoid using cell phones or other devices or engaging in activities while driving.
The NRSF has reported that seemingly “easy” actions such as eating, drinking, talking, changing the radio, or GPS can lead to fatal traffic accidents and urge drivers to stay safe and keep everyone on the road safe.
