Texting and driving in California and nationwide has become an epidemic and is up to six times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving. Thousands of teens are killed each year texting and according to various studies has surpassed drunk driving accidents. Texting while driving is simply not a teenager issue and has become commonplace on the roads and freeways with adults. The combination of cell phone use and driving has lead to record amount of injuries and deaths in California. The statistics surrounding distracted driving are staggering. According to the California Office of Traffic Safety:

• 80 percent of vehicle crashes involve driver inattention
• Talking on a cell phone or texting while driving is the #1 source of driver inattention
• Up to 3000 people nationwide are killed in crashes where driver distractions are involved.

Even more shocking than the statistics is that drivers are fully aware of the dangers of texting and driving, yet do it anyway.
