6000 accident deaths in the United States every year

West Palm Beach, Florida–The first Distracted Driving Summit held by the U.S. Department of Transportation began in Washington, D.C., on October 5th, 2009 at the Renaissance hotel located inside the District of Columbia.  The summit started off by Secretary of the Department of transportation, Ray LaHood, where in he talked about the epidemic of distracted driving that has taken the nation by storm in the past 10 years.  Distractions while driving due to text messaging, reading e-mail while driving, talking on the cell, text messaging looking at kids and trying ti discipline them while driving. Drinking soft drinks or liquor, eating food and playing with sophisticated radio is responsible for 6,000 deaths every year in the United States. Additionally, more than 515,000 drivers and passengers are injured because of distracted drivers every year. With close to 50,000 lives claimed every year in motor vehicle accidents, on our nation’s highways and roadways, at a national cost of some $300 billion dollars, government officials, automobile industry experts, and law makers are calling for swift action to help save lives.
