On the website “highwaysafety.utah.gov” shows a graph that tells us younger drivers have the highest rates of accidents that happen due to distractions. Typically you can find a teenager or young adult constantly on their cell phone or doing something that can distract them greatly. These things can and will cause accidents. It is found on the same website a graph showing the years 2006 to 2013 crashes due to cellphone use. On the graph you can see that texting is adding to the accidents that occur while driving. On the website” highwaysafty.utah.gov” it also states,” Statewide, distracted driver crashes represented 9.0% of all crashes and 8.4% of all fatal crashes.” This means that in Utah most fatal accidents occur due to distracted driving. I believe the simple solution to this is to put away all distractions and save them for safer time. Statistics in Utah also show that the leading cause of driving related fatalities in teenagers is running off the road. You can remain safer if you are always alert of what's ahead and keep distractions
