TowTimes Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Distracted driving has become a deadly epidemic on our roads. In 2020, distracted driving killed 3,142 people. At least eight people a day are killed in distracted driving crashes. Cell phone use — specifically, texting, talking, and social media use — has become the most common distraction. Other risky actions include adjusting the radio or GPS, applying makeup, eating and drinking. By driving distracted, motorists rob themselves of seconds they may need to avoid a close call or deadly crash. Tow operators are especially at risk from distracted driving when they service vehicles on the roadside. Every April, the National Safety Council observes Distracted Driving Awareness Month to prioritize roadway safety.
