Texting while driving increases your risk of an accident much more than previous studies have concluded. This is as a result of motorists taking their eyes off the road longer than they do when talking or listening on their cell phones.
A study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute used cameras to continuously observe light vehicle drivers and truckers for more than 6 million miles. VTech's study found that when drivers texted, their collision risk was 23 times greater than when not texting.
Drivers texting are often distracted taking their eyes off of the road up to 75% of the time. This makes texting the most distracting of all cell phone related tasks. Please don't text and drive.
