text: When a car accident happens it's not always because the person who caused it simply hit the other person but was on their phone. It states that 38% of people ages 18-24 surveyed to see if they know their own state laws on texting and driving. Within those 38% only 55% said it was illegal to text and drive. 14% of car crashes that were fatal were caused by cellphones and in 2018 4,637 people were killed due to texting and driving. People that use their smartphones while driving have the urge to pick it up and answer the phone or reply to a text message. These few seconds could lead to an accident due to traffic flow or losing control of the car.
