Why Is Texting While Driving so Dangerous?
Texting while driving seems like an ordinary and harmless act, but studies show that it is actually very dangerous. Recent reports by numerous sources have revealed the dangers of texting while driving. Several states have banned texting while operating a motor vehicle. Texas is not one of them.
According to the study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute as reported by the New York Times, before a crash caused by texting while driving, drivers had their eyes off the road an average of five seconds.
Texting is especially popular with teens. Because teen drivers are already at a higher risk for being involved in auto accidents, this combination is cause for any driver to be concerned.
