There have been many instances where people have been hit by a distracted driver. Statistics show that as many as 3,287 people get killed a day by distracted drivers in 2018. This can be devastating to the deceased person's family and traumatizing to the driver. You could go to jail for manslaughter and ruin your background, so you will not get a good job when or if you get out.
