Texting and driving can and will kill, many my age will say they have not texted and drove. Here is a fact that i got off of "Texting and Driving Fact"
Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55 mph, that's enough to cover the length of a football field.(2009,VTTI). That's only 1 of 30. Many think that it is ok, and that they have it under control, that they can text and not be hurt or killed or hurting someone else or even killing them. I have watched many videos to come up to do this topic. In the videos i have seen people killed by hitting other cars, trees, 18 wheelers, and even trains. People texting while driving are more likely to be killed or kill someone else than a person that has met or gone over the 0.8 legal limit. So think twice before you pick up the phone to read a text, or even send one to someone else because Texting and driving can and will kill.
