Canadians say that driving text messages are one of the biggest threats to the safety of individuals on the road. (CAA, 2016)

27% of fatal accidents in BC are due to distraction. Police in Canada say that the collision caused by distracted driving is more than the damage of the driver. (ICBC, 2016)

Driving is driving the nation's problem. As a result, we have enacted some form of movement / distraction disturbing law in all 10 regions and 2 regions out of the three Canadian regions.

Ray LaHood of the US Department of Transportation introduced his "blueprint for distraction driving", a plan to reduce distracting driving accidents and related deaths. This blueprint encourages such laws to be enacted in eleven countries that do not distract the driving law. It lets the automobile industry challenge to adopt guidelines to reduce the possibility of distraction. The state recommends collaborating with educators to develop new curriculum materials. Automobile manufacturers offer dashboards and heads-up displays so that drivers can obtain driving information without having to escape from the road. The gesture-based and voice-based interface simplifies the control of the vehicle and its services. Mobile applications such as LifeSaver, BSafeMobile, DriveScribe, and TextLimit disable communication while moving the device. Telecommunications carriers are also studying similar methods

Driving is a way of how it sounds like driving. Driving distracting is distracting during driving. These obstacles range from using mobile phones from driving meals, text messages and calls, loud music to living with friends and family while driving. You can distract almost anything unless you pull your attention in a short drive in as little as 5 seconds. In fact, in one study, 80% of collisions and collisions, and at least 65% closing collisions and collisions have shown that drivers are not concentrating or distracting during driving. Three seconds may not seem so long, or it may not be, but you can change everything for 3 seconds when you are behind the wheel of a 2 ton metal block. There are countless cases of driver distraction and fatal car accidents.
