It only takes a second to change your life forever. Distractions such as texting while operating a vehicle are accounting for more fatal crashes throughout the U.S. this year than in the past. Teens and adult drivers alike are put at risk every time someone is behind the wheel fiddling with small buttons in order to send out a
message to a friend or to a co-worker.
I recently read that researchers have some really frightening findings regarding this risky behavior. Drivers who were tested driving while texting on a cell phone or playing with an MP3 player steered their virtual vehicles erratically, weaving in and out of lanes and even running over virtual people... making them a hazard to themselves and all of us driving on the road with them!
It is best to minimize your risks: just forget about texting while driving!
