text: The National Safety Council reports that the usage of electronic devices while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year (prg 4). 1 out of 4 accidents are caused by texting and driving (prg. 4). These statistics prove that a couple of seconds from a minor distraction can literally be the difference between life and death or major injury. Full attention is needed while driving and nothing should obscure that for the safety of yourself and others.
