Nearly 6,000 people are killed and another 500,000 injured each year nationally in car and truck accidents caused by a distracted driver. Scientific studies have shown that using a cell phone in any fashion while driving reduces your focus on the road by 37 percent. One study from Virginia Tech University found that in a study of truck drivers, they were 23 times more likely to be in a car accident if they were text messaging. It is now illegal for commercial drivers to use a cell phone in any capacity. Texting while driving is currently banned in 34 states and Washington DC.
