text: There's a saying U DRIVE. U TEXT. U PAY. Distracted driving is dangerous so many lives have been taken just by one simple text back. Using a cell phone while driving creates deaths and injuries on U.S. roads. In 2017 alone, people were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. "Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system-anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving".
