Distracted driving is one of the major problems on the roads in Texas with almost every driver taking their eyes off the road at some time.
Distracted driving can lead to appalling accidents, and recently four teens, returning from spring break were killed or seriously injured near Corpus Christi when the 18 year old driver looked down at her cell phone at a map and crashed into a big rig.
In Texas one in five accidents are due to distracted driving which was over 100,000 accidents in 2014. The statistics relating to distracted driving in Texas are shocking. in 2013 there were 468 deaths and 3,214 serious injuries due solely to distracted driving.
There are now only four states across the country which allow texting and talking on the phone as well and surfing the web when driving and Texas is one of these. This is shown in the numbers of deaths from distracted driving.
