Driving Statistics in Utah

In the statistics I read, I found that in every category on that point was look sharping too fast. Obviously that is a problem in Utah. In my experience with drivers, I have noniced that many people speed and take ont even realize that they are doing so. I think that speeding is a problem because so many people die from it. On the page it stated that 15. 2% of people die from speeding and that 14. 7% of teens die from speeding. I will admit that it is shocking that those percentages are so high. I didnt expect that many deaths from just going to fast in a car.It has brought new light into my mind that people need to be to a greater extent aware of how fast they go. Another thing that really took me by surprise is the percentages of overcorrections. The deaths in people are 7. 9% and teens are 8. 8%. Those percentages are humble than I had expected them to be. In my own feel, I have had a number of people dear to my heart die from overcorrection. I am not saying that there shoul d be more, but that I have noticed more deaths from overcorrections than speeding, running of the road, or failure to keep in proper lane.It is a dangerous thing that is deadly and shows that it is important to be aware of your actions. On the Top Five Reasons Teens Crash on Utah Highways, I noticed that it says device driver Distraction 7. 5%. I wondered if that included texting and assumed it did. Im guessing that the majority of those crashes were because of texting. There are so many people who dont realize that it is a huge distraction and looking away for a few seconds, can make a difference. In my own life I have seen many teens around my age texting and driving and thinking it doesnt matter when it really does. One text message could make the difference.
