Approximately 5.7 million car crashes take place in America every year. Approximately 28% of those crashes (about 1.6 million accidents) are caused by distracted driving. 1.4 million are attributed to cell phone use. The remaining 200,000 collisions are attributed to texting.Of course, these numbers are deflated. Texting and cell phone use on the road is on the rise and has reached crisis levels. Drivers need to be more responsible; otherwise, they place themselves, their passengers, and others on the roadway in great peril.
Throughout each year I volunteer at local schools to speak to students about the drastic consequences of distracted driving. Most recently, on March 9, 2010, I spoke to high school students in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The students were extremely attentive and amazed by the statistics, as well as the video presentation of actual incidents caused by distracted driving that I included in the presentation. They all learned from the presentation and take seriously this issue of distracted driving. If even one person’s life is saved, the presentation was worth it.I will be giving several more presentations throughout the year.

Please don’t drive while distracted.
