Accidents Caused By Distracted Drivers

Michigan has joined numerous other states that are cracking down on distracted drivers. In 2009, more than one in four accidents were cause by distracted drivers, which led to the enactment of a statewide law that banned text messaging while driving.

Texting while driving dramatically increases the risk of accidents. According to researchers at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, distracted drivers are 23 times more likely to crash than undistracted drivers.

Some cities have passed additional ordinances that prohibit drivers from eating, writing, performing personal hygiene/grooming, interacting with pets and passengers, and fiddling with unsecured cargo while driving. The law applies if the driver does not have at least one hand on the wheel with a controlled grip.
