Nevada law enforcement agencies statewide will be focusing on distracted drivers from July 22-Aug. 6.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will be working diligently to urge motorists to keep their eyes on the road and put away cell phones or other items that cause distractions.

“Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55 mph, that’s enough time to cover the length of a football field blindfolded,” deputies said in a press release.

According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s, in 2014 in the United States 3,179 people were killed, and 431,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.
