Information provided by the Governor Highway Safety Association reveals that the majority of crashes in the Peach State are caused by driver distraction, speeding, and intoxication.
Driver distraction can happen under numerous circumstances; however, texting and driving is the most common.

Every year in the United States, over 400,000 traffic accidents happen due to distracted driving.
Additionally, more than 11,000 people lose their lives yearly in collisions caused by speeding. Intoxication takes the lives of approximately 12,000 individuals per year while over 1,500 are killed in fatigued driving crashes.
