New York Car Wrecks
In New York, distracted driving is the main reason auto accidents occur today. Throughout the nation, over 3,000 people lose their lives annually due to the actions of drivers who are distracted while behind the wheel. This averages out to approximately 9 people per day. According to information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of auto accidents in the United States rises by approximately 10% each year.
When drivers become distracted while operating their vehicles, they risk their own lives and the lives of those around them. Three main types of distraction exist, which include:
- Visual: taking your eyes off of the road
- Manual: removing your hands from the wheel
- Cognitive: focusing on something other than driving
Some forms of distracted driving that are commonplace among drivers include texting, eating, talking on the phone, grooming, or changing the radio station.
