Texting is dangerous. Texting while driving has led to more and more automobile accidents. In fact, texting while driving is actually more hazardous than driving while under the influence of alcohol. These statistics prove as to why texting is so unsafe:
- When a driver texts while driving, their reaction time will decrease by over 35%
- A driver is twenty three times more likely to get into a car accident while driving and texting.
- Drivers are also six times as likely to get into a car accident while dialing a number into their cellular devices.
- When texting, steering capability goes down by 90%.
- Texting has caused many car accidents and death related incidents in the driving age group of 16-21, the largest texting demographic.
Text your friends and family, “PLS DNT TXT + DRIVE”.
