Driving when distracted is frequently just as dangerous as drunk driving. When driving while texting, a person’s crash risk increases by 23 times. According to one study, driver inattention played a role in over 80% of incidents.

Despite the alarming numbers, almost three in four Canadians admit to using their phones while driving. You could believe that sending a text only takes a few seconds and isn’t a huge concern but it can be so dangerous that you can’t even imagine.
