Did you know…
* Over 28% of car accidents occur when people talk on cellphones or send text messages while driving, according to a study by National Safety Council
* CTIA- The Wireless Association reports that text messaging has increased tenfold over the last three years
* 72% of teens text daily
* Teens text more than 3000 times a month
* According to studies done by the National Safety Council, 81% of the driving population has admitted
to texting while driving
* 37% of cognitive reasoning and ability to respond to driving situations is taken away when you text and drive, giving you 23 more times the risk of being in a car crash than non-texting drivers
* Distracted driving is dangerous
* Approximately 342,000 auto accident injuries each year are caused by texting and driving
* The National Safety Council states that fatalities caused by texting and driving are more than double the amount that those as a result of drunk driving
Texting is convenient, but distracting. And when you drive distracted, you’re dangerous. And when you’re a danger on the road, there’s nothing to “LOL” about. Please put away the phone while you are driving.
