Distracted Driving Crashes in Kansas
Distracted driving is one of the riskiest things you can do when operating a car. In the United States alone, there were over 14,000 deadly crashes involving distracted driving between 2017 and 2021. In 2021, 3,522 persons lost their lives as a result of distracted driving. Statistics show that around 10 percent of the time, distracted drivers take their eyes off the road, significantly increasing the risk of a dangerous collision. The fact that distracted drivers were involved in almost 17 percent of all vehicle accidents in Kansas in 2022 indicates that the problem of distracted driving has become worse in recent years.
