Distracted Driving Accident Statistics

Each year, the National Safety Council (NSC) recognizes April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month. This time is meant to spread awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and help everyone promote safer roads everywhere.

  • Manual distractions take your hands off the wheel

  • Cognitive distractions take your mind off the task of driving
