The Dangers of Texting While Driving

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, driving a motor vehicle while texting is six times more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Based on a report by the U.S. Department of Transportation, cell phones are involved in 1.6 million traffic-related accident every year, resulting in nearly half a million injuries and 6,000 deaths.

Sending or receiving a text can take a driver’s eyes away from the road, hands away from the steering wheel, and mind away from the primary task of operating a vehicle for an average of just under five seconds. At 55 mph, this is like driving the length of a football field while staring at your lap.
