Police Have A Simple 2-Word Message For Idaho Drivers

Caldwell Police Share A Glaring Statistic

Caldwell police shared a glaring statistic on social media that, at first glance, might appear to be rattling the cage to some. But the message is clear and one that Caldwell police were able to convey in just two words:

Just. Drive.

The point was further hammered home by the data they shared from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The data, shown in a pie graph, reveals that 71% of distracted driving fatal crashes were caused by men and 29% of those fatal crashes were caused by women.

Many commented and shared their theories as to why men were more responsible for the distracted driving crashes.
