http://globalnews.ca/news/1544129/di...deaths-in-b-c/

On average, 88 people are killed in B.C. each year due to driver distractions.

The B.C. Association of Chiefs say you are four times more likely to crash if you are on your phone while driving.

Meanwhile ICBC says that rear-end crashes are on the rise by 14 per cent since 2009 and says the main factor in those crashes is distracted driving.
