3,179 were killed and 431,000 were injured in 2014 alone via distracted driving car accidents. According to distraction.gov, distracted driving is “any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger, and bystander safety.” Although using maps, radios, eating, and talking are all considered distractions, the most hazardous one is texting.
