Car Wreck Statistics By Age, Gender & Cause

Distracted Drivers In America

Car Crashes - Car hit tree - Public Domain Photo

Statistics of automobile crashes in the United States. Results are from years of studies including many government and independent research sources.

Input is from drivers who have been in car wrecks and law enforcement feedback. 

Allow for a small margin of error. Although we strive for accuracy in certain cases we scaled percentages over a period of years with steady constant growth.

Radios, Buttons, Cellphones & Gadgets

For age groups 16-25 these are the #1 cause of car crashes. Everyone loves listening to the radio, plugging in a CD, playlist on our mobile phone. We are also doing other things that distract us from driving like adjusting the air, turning lights on and off, setting the GPS. More reasons this age group ranks #1 in for distractions that cause car wrecks.
  • Picking up objects that fall to the floor while driving
  • Distractions created by their friends, family & passengers
  • Talking to others and not paying attention to the task at hand

The cause of car crashes for adjusting vehicle controls for age groups 16-35 averages out to a whopping 90% while age groups 36-Over 65 is only 10%

[1] Over 1 and a half million car crashes yearly are due to cell phone usage. [2] 40% of smartphone users surf social media while driving. 30% surf the net. 1 out of ten use video chat. Source: [1] National Safety Council [2] ATT.com

There are so many different statistics about people who drive with their phone in hand it's hard to say what's accurate and what's not. I can tell you from my own personal observation as someone who drives a taxicab in College Station Tx it's happening all day long, everyday.

Weebly Websites

We like Weebly as a web host. The website editor makes designing and publishing a website easy. Our taxi cab company uses the starter package which monthly cost about the same as a burger, fries and coke at Sonic.

Customer Support

Weebly customer support center is superb and has a how to do everything support page for all of your questions. There is also an extensive section with good SEO articles and tips to help you build a better net presence..Also see Weebly's  blog and inspiration center.

Drag & drop editors are easy to use. Create sections and add image, text, embed code widgets etc. You can add polls, surveys, videos, files, docs & more. This is a screenshot of our cab drivers profiles page.

Desktop / Laptop Screen Resolution Editor

Weebly Mobile Editor

When Google algorithms started giving mobile tweaked websites an edge over those that weren't, we jumped way up in the search rankings. Hardly any of our competitors in our niche were mobile ready at the time.

You can switch back and forth from the desktop to the mobile view with ease until you are pleased with the way your website design looks. You can also scroll the mobile view editor to the bottom of the page. Make sure your paragraphs and images are aligned and spaced correctly.You have a choice of mobile templates which are different from laptop / desktop templates. When finished editing the page simply click publish. 

Weebly Web Hosting

There are many more reasons we like Weebly. Go see for yourself. You can sign up for a free website and try it for yourself. Don't get discouraged if it looks overwhelming in the beginning. It took us a few days. Here we are 3 months later and it's all second nature. The page editor, page structure, design is easy once you get the feel. 

All of the answers to everything are in the help section. If you do have to contact Weebly support directly they have been quick to respond in our case. You can also Google any questions you might have. A lot of good answers in the search engines. Blogs, forums...

  • Superb web host
  • Reasonably priced
  • Server's always up
  • Easy page builder
  • Good theme choices
  • Good layout choices
  • Support always responds
  • Constant improvements
  • Recently added custom designed layouts for restaurant menus, contact pages, about us, portfolios etc.
  • Very nice eCommerce shopping cart website designs and templates.
  • Optional Facebook, Disqus or default for comments for your Weebly blog.
