April is distracted driving awareness month and the safety statistics show that awareness is needed. Despite laws in most states banning the use of phones while driving, distracted driving remains a deadly and expensive problem in the United States.
29% of car accidents are caused by distracted driving, resulting in over 3,200 deaths and causing an estimated $395 billion in damages each year, according to a 2024 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
