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.

Great post - brief and informative. What you said is all true. Many people would have assumed that their car should be recharged yearly, not knowing that a simple repair in the leak would fix it.

The truth is, about 95 percent of all online car shopping sites are really just lead aggregators. Modern web technology makes it simple to build a car buying site that is loaded with model specifications, new car builders, and fairly accurate pricing data.

Generally, most people will choose to have a short term car lease. However, some may want a car for a bit longer and that will lead them to the option of long term car leasing. With long term car leasing, you can lease the car for years, even until you eventually pay it off. This is an option that is favorable to some because many short term lease contracts require the car to go back to the dealership at the end of the lease. What do you do if you want to keep the car then?

Whenever an inoperable vehicle needs to be moved from point a to point b, towing services can come to the rescue. They should have the equipment to safely move the vehicle without causing further damage to it or other property. There may be situations where you need towing Toronto.

In life we are taught to protect our assets. Assets are defined as items of ownership convertible into cash; total resources of a person or business, as cash, notes and accounts receivable, securities, inventories, goodwill, fixtures, machinery, or real estate. So therefore your assets could be countless but also vary by person.
