Texting while Driving
Texting has become more and more popular amongst human beings. Kids, teenagers, adults, and even elderly people use texting know more than talking. Texting can be an easier way to communicate with people. Teenagers especially have taken texting as their number one way of communication. Not realizing they can cause accidents, they tend to text and talk while driving. texting while driving has caused millions of car accidents all over the world.
Many accidents have occurred because teenagers are texting while driving. A lot of people have died and been seriously injured. Statistics say that each year, 21% of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 were the result of cell phone usage. This result has been expected to grow as much as 4% every year. As a result cops all over the world are becoming seriously worried that this numbers could get higher. They decided to enforce a new law and give tickets to every person they see texting while driving. I for example, got a ticket just two weeks ago for texting while driving. As a lot of teenagers I thought texting and driving was not risky at all and that I couldn’t cause any accidents. But I learned that this could lead to serious accidents and even deaths. Even though the police is enforcing this law teenagers continue to text while driving thinking this cant cause any harm to others around themTexting while Driving
I agree, it is very dangerous!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I am guilty of text while operating a motorcycle but I was stopped at a red light when doing it. Great stats!
ReplyDeleteMaybe now that you got a ticket you probably don't text while driving anymore, that's a good thing though. Maybe if you would've kept doing it, you would've caused a small accident.
ReplyDeleteTrue! Texting and driving is dangerous, but some people do not think much of the consequences of their actions.
