So I'm doing a video for this club I'm in (we're going to a championship), and it's all about preventing teens from texting and driving. It's super scary so I thought I'd put some things that I learned on here.
-When a driver texts and drives, his or her reaction time will decrease by THIRTY FIVE PERCENT
-While texting, steering capability goes down by 91%
-A driver is 23 times more likely to get in a car accident while texting!
-Between 2001 and 2007, an estimated 16,000 distracted drivers were killed in the U.S. from texting or talking on the phone. Those numbers are currently going up due to growing technology.
Scary right? Texting and driving is just as bad as drunk driving. You are putting your life in danger as well as everyone else who is around you. No text is worth risking your life. So don't even chance it.
