Danger: Don't Text And Drive

6/18/2020

 
Picture
The odds that you've never seen a message cautioning you against the danger of texting while driving is extremely low. If you've read an online ad or watched a TV commercial, it can be said with certainty that you've seen at least a couple of campaigns telling you, don't text and drive.

But in spite of the frequency of these safety ads, cell phones still contribute to over one million car accidents annually. It's hard to measure or see the efficiency of campaigns like "Don't Text and Drive." Perhaps drivers continue to have distractions at the wheel since they aren't fully aware of the dangers involved.

Currently, over 750,000 drivers are using some handheld cellular device. Even if you strive to be utterly distraction-free while driving, it's vital to note that around one out of every twenty motorists is using a cell at any given time. And even if you have a hands-free phone, chatting with a friend still takes up a good amount of your attention.

Hands-Free is Not Better
Contrary to popular belief, research has discovered that hands-free communication tools provide no real safety benefits over typical cell phones. Maybe the fact that many states have prohibited the use of handheld phones but not the use of Bluetooth and hands-free phones have let a vast number of motorists jump to the wrong conclusion.

Research has shown that taking your eyes off the road for even two seconds will double the chances of a collision and need to call Buffalo Towing Service. Distractions can include way more than only a cell phone.

Applying makeup, eating, reaching for fallen objects, or adjusting the radio are all typical distractions that lead to a vast number of accidents each year. If your belongings could become a distraction, it could be best to put them in the back seat until you get to your destination.
​

Teenagers are way more likely to be involved in a deadly car crash due to being distracted. Car accidents are the top cause of fatalities for teens in the U.S. Don't text and drive, this is a major cause of distraction.

This might be directly related to the fact that teens are the largest age group to be texting while driving. Educating young adults about the dangers of driving while distracted is crucial to their safety as well as the safety of other drivers.
