Text Messaging Still Major Contributor to Number of Accidents

/>

Texting while driving is a very serious issue.  Texting and driving is a dangerous combination and is the reason for many accidents that occur.

The distraction that texting and driving is undeniable. Looking down at a phone and reading the screen diverts the drivers attention from the road.  Because of this,  many serious accidents occur because the driver does not have any reaction time to possibly stop and avoid the hazard.  In normal circumstances, a driver may be able to slow down or attempt to stop at the last second.  This can greatly reduce the seriousness of some accidents.  When an individual is texting and driving, they are unlikely to make a last second attempt to stop.
