Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: causes one out of every three fatal accidents.

Distraction is a factor in about one in three fatal crashes. In 2024, excluding Catalonia and the Basque Country, it was listed as a factor in 406 of the 1,373 fatal crashes recorded by the DGT. Its role is growing because cell phones and screens compete for your attention while driving, like the phone the driver is holding in the image.
