Many deaths and accidents tend to happen while driving. An estimation of car accidents due to distractions was made in 2018. It showed that 28,000 people in the United States were killed mostly in crashes that are caused by distracted drivers. Being distracted in a car accident will keep your attention off the road based on the activity that’s distracting you from paying attention.

There are many types of distractions that cause these accidents to happen when driving.One of these is texting while driving, which is one of the main ones we see at all times. People who are mostly affected by this are people with ages around 16 and 24 because they are most likely to grab a phone to reply or send a “quick message”.If many were to shut their phones off or keep it away from them, it’ll be harder for them to grab it and get distracted. This will allow for them to keep their eyes on the road more than what they do when having their phones in their hand.Having your phone in hand will not only risk you in crashing but it’ll also have other risks that are applied to it.It can cause for you to have consequences in your insurance going up due to the damage that’s caused in your car, or also get you a ticket/ fine because its against the law.

When we are distracted by our phones and see a car coming, we react to it in a way that is more than likely to get you in an accident. When distracted drivers are driving, and see a stop that should be made, they tend to break really hard to stop the car in a faster way to not get into a bad incident. The main cause of breaking hard is due to the accelerating and speed they are going in. If many were to pay attention to the speeding limits and signs by the side of the road, it’ll remind them to keep their acceleration the way it should be kept around the area there in.

Drunk driving is another major cause of accidents when people drive after consuming alcohol.These accidents tend to mostly happen when going to parties or places where alcohol is being consumed.When being drunk, it is hard to keep track of the road because feeling drunk can cause you to feel dizzy and lose control.
