Texting While Driving: MORE DANGEROUS


Lora and Michelle

If you haven't been taking this issue seriously, you need to read this. New studies indicate that texting while driving is not only dangerous, it's more dangerous than drinking or using drugs while driving!

Recent research has said that you are 23 times more likely to have an accident if you are texting while driving, yet 20% of people reportedly still do it, and among young people the percentage is must higher. Many states are now considering banning the practice, so if the safety concerns don't stop you from texting while driving, maybe the long arm of the law will do the trick.

what's with all this texting? Get in your car,do what you have to like postoffice, bank, and grocery store,come home and talk all you want to OUT of the car.I am from the old school,we were lucky to have a phone. If you want to talk to your friend GO talk face to face.Your life will go on without texting. It scares me to drive 5 miles to town and see 1/2 of the drivers with that damn thing stuck in their ear.
