I want to warn you of all the dangers of texting while driving and tell you how you should prevent it. First of all don't text while your driving or tell some on your texting your going out to drive and say "brb" trust your little conversation can wait. and here the facts


Despite the risks, the majority of teen drivers ignore cell
phone driving restrictions
. Talking on a cell phone while driving can
make a young driver's
reaction time as
slow as that of a
70-year-old.
48% of young Americans
from 12-17 say
they've been in a
car while
the driver was texting.
52%
of 16- and
17-year-old
teen drivers
confess to making and answering cell
phone calls on the
road. 34% admit
to text messaging while driving.
In
2007, driver
distractions, such
as using a cell phone or text messaging,
contributed to
nearly 1,000
crashes involving 16- and 17-year-old
drivers.
