Parents will go to great lengths to keep their children safe. This is particularly true when parents need to drive their children somewhere. Not many parents these days would dream of putting their child into a car without a proper car seat, booster seat or seat belt.
Examining the different types of driving distractions
Most car accidents that occur on Salem's roads are just that: accidents. Very rarely will a person intentionally cause a collision. Yet even though intent is typically not present in a car crash, some degree of blame typically is. It is often carelessness or recklessness (even though it is unintended) on the part of at least one party involved that leads to accidents. Recent years have seen distracted driving being cited more and more as the cause of roadway damages, injuries and fatalities. Indeed, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 3,166 people were killed due to distracted driving in the U.S. in 2017 alone.
