story about teens who text while driving. Note how the story refers to data and provides meaningul numbers. Oh, and I hope that after reading this, you won'd be as tempted to text the next time that YOU are behind the wheel;)
Now a days mow that the whole texting thing is so big everybodies doing it. driving and texting i think is a huge mistake. there has already been a death of a girl when she was texting and driving and wrapped her car around a tree so it is just not safe.
ReplyDeleteI think this is very important information to know for all people who like to text. It shows very good facts about texting while driving the dangers and the risks it involves doing it.
ReplyDeleteI think that since the technology has become more of a greater influence and more part of evryday in a sense we have become addicted. Especially when it comes to communicating through phones because now technology has become a way that we as teenagers use to talk to eachother through text, im, or caling which we also do when we shouldn't like at work, driving, and other times that put us at risk including others. Then we end regreting it after we get into an accident but most likely we'll do it later.
ReplyDeleteAlright to be honset I'm a ext fiend myself and i always do it on my bike and even when im walking but when it comes to driving and texting I defenitely wouldnt reccomend it cause it causes so many accidents and not only that its a bad habbit as it is.There is nothing you can benifit from texting while driving.If you diont wanna listen to what im saying the hell with you dont cry to when im the one standing there saying I told you so muahahahahah
ReplyDeleteDriving and texting is super dangerous. Fortunatly, I'm not very big on texting so I would never, ever text while I'm driving. If you really, really need to text or call someone, why is it such a big deal to pull over for a second, if it could save your life and the lives of others.
ReplyDeletei think that when you are driving you should be paying attention to what you are doing because if you are going to be texting you can get into a car crash and your life will be done for texting while you are driving
ReplyDeleteDriving and Texting is dangerous for yourself and others you have to pay attetion to what your doing not texting.
ReplyDeleteIt's unbelievable to even think that people can drive and text, driving requires BOTH HANDS, guess what though, SO DOES TEXTING!!! People need to think before they do things, look at the Conductor for the "T" in Boston, A TRAIN IS ONLY GOING IN ONE DIRECTION AND SHE CRASHED THE TRAIN!!! What makes you think you can do better while driving? THINK ABOUT THAT!!!
ReplyDeleteUnimpaired: .54 seconds to brake
ReplyDeleteLegally drunk: add 4 feet
Reading e-mail: add 36 feet
Sending a text: add 70 feet
Those statistics dont lie. Texting while driving is extremely dangerous.
It is just horrible that teens could do this to themselves. I mean they think that nothing is happening to them but they are really raising the chances of risking their health or even lives. So they should just think about what could happen to them and stop texting while driving.
ReplyDeletei think texting while driving should be ilegal is the most dangerous thing this year and is more dangerous than driving drunk
ReplyDeleteThe more something is mentioned and made into a law, people will break that rule or not care and keep doing so. No one should even use their phone in a car anyways.
ReplyDeleteTexting and driving is irresponsible, immature,dumb and plain stupid. If you can't put your phone down to drive from point A to point B you shouldn't bring your phone with you and/or just not drive.
