Having and using cell phones have become so second nature to
many people that they don’t even think twice about talking on the phone, or
worse, texting while they drive. The dangers of texting while driving are not new news. According to Distraction.gov, the official U.S. government website for
distracted driving, texting while driving creates a crash risk 23 times worse
than driving with your full attention on the road.
The Worst Kind of Distraction
Texting takes a driver’s mind off of driving, their eyes off
the road, and their hands off the wheel. It is a recipe for disaster, but many
people believe that the statistics won’t be true for them; that if they just
read or send a quick text, nothing will happen and everything will be fine, but
this is unfortunately not the case, as is demonstrated in the following
AT&T documentary. The lives of each of these people have changed and have
even been torn apart due to texting while driving. Please be aware that some of
the images and descriptions are graphic.
