Distracted Driving Crashes in Oklahoma

Certainly, drivers who don't look at the road can significantly increase the risk of a sudden wreck. Using a phone while driving is a bad habit practiced by many motorists in Oklahoma. Distracted driving is turning into one of the main reasons for serious crashes across the United States, and many more drivers will openly admit to using their phones behind the wheel nowadays. In the US, nearly 1.6 million car accidents happen every year because the driver is texting. When you're driving, even small things like talking to a passenger or changing the radio station can take your attention away from the road, greatly increasing the chance of a serious auto accident.

Cell phone use is quickly becoming one of the main reasons why car crashes happen in the United States. It's clear that looking down at your phone while driving is very dangerous, but a lot of drivers in Oklahoma will say that they do it all the time. A thorough study of Oklahoma car crashes over the past year found that driver distraction played a part in 1,335 collisions in a recent year. Reports showed that teens and young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 were most likely to be hurt in distracted driving crashes.
