Distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of car accidents, personal injuries, and fatalities on U.S. roads. With the rise in smartphone use, in-car entertainment systems, and other digital distractions, drivers are more tempted than ever to divert their attention from the road. In 2022 alone, over 3,300 lives were lost in distracted driving-related crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In response, the legal system has taken significant steps to address this dangerous behavior through harsher penalties, stricter enforcement, and high-profile cases that emphasize the serious consequences of such negligence.
