Negligent driving has become a serious issue across the United States, especially in recent years. Studies show that more than 94% of reported traffic accidents are linked to driver negligence. Common types of negligent driving include:
- Intoxication
- Distraction

In just one year, unsafe driving speeds resulted in the deaths of over 12,000 people on American roads, while distracted driving accounted for more than 400,000 collisions. Accidents caused by negligence are often more severe, highlighting the importance of being alert and sober while driving.
