Kansas Reckless Driving Crashes
In Kansas, using a phone while driving is a risky practice that has spread widely in recent years, contributing to more and more collisions every year. In the amount of time it takes to send one text message at highway speeds, you could travel the whole length of a football field. Distracted driving caused over 3,200 fatalities and about 400,000 major injuries to Americans in a single year. Distracted driving includes things like texting, talking on the phone, and using a GPS device while operating a vehicle. Any one of these thoughtless actions increases the likelihood of an inadvertent crash significantly. Following a serious accident, you could find it difficult to get well on your own.
