Texting While Driving
According to www.distraction.gov, the official U.S. government website for distracted driving, sending or reading a text while driving takes a driver’s eyes off the road for almost five seconds. Driving at 55 mph, five seconds is long enough to drive the entire length of a football field and definitely long enough to cause a serious accident. In 2012, 3,328 people in the United States died in distracted driving-related accidents. Hundreds of thousands more were injured and subjected to potentially overwhelming medical costs, lost time from work, pain and suffering, and piles of insurance paperwork.
