Think before you text: Distracted driving fatalities rise 10%, report says

You might want to think twice about answering that text next time you’re behind the wheel.

The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) recently released a new report titled Using Electronic Devices While Driving: Legislation and Enforcement Implications, detailing the rising number of deaths related to distracted driving and encouraging states to enact stricter laws to prevent such actions.

Distracted driving, which often takes a back seat to alcohol- and drug-impaired driving when discussing dangerous roadway behavior, has become a major issue on U.S. roadways in recent years.

In 2019, crashes involving a distracted driver killed 3,142 Americans, nearly a 10% increase over the 2,841 people killed in such crashes in 2018, according to the report.

And those instances only account for situations in which it could be confirmed that a driver was distracted at the time of the crash, meaning the actual total is likely much higher.

“Driver distraction is likely underreported as a cause in crashes; therefore, fatalities caused by distracted driving may be much greater,” according to the report.

These numbers are shocking! OnMyWay’s mission is to put an end to these crashes and fatalities. Since our founding in 2019, we have been successful in saving 146 lives and preventing over 22,000 car crashes. We have definitely made change, but our job is not done until distracted driving is a thing of the past.

Users earn $0.05 for every mile they drive without texting. Users also earn for all miles their referrals drive undistracted – this is where the real earning power comes in. The more referrals you have = the faster you earn!

The OnMyWay cash accumulated can be used to redeem things such as product discounts, travel offers, special product financing and YES, even cash payouts when certain milestones are hit. While the rewards are great, we are also saving lives which is the main mission behind OnMyWay.
