The practice has been viewed by many people and authorities as dangerous. It has also been ruled as the cause of some motor vehicle accidents, and in some places has been outlawed or restricted. Texting while driving leads to increased distraction behind the wheel. EYES ON THE ROADS, HANDS ON THE WHEEL. Real event Drivers using hands-free devices to make calls can be just as distracted as someone fumbling with a phone, according to safety research. However, research shows the phone conversation itself can be a significant — and dangerous — distraction. "When people are using a hands-free phone they tend not to make that compensatory adjustment in speed, "They go at least as fast if not faster than an individual simply carrying on no conversation on a phone. "So they're distracted. Their reaction times are slower, No Phones when Driving The report found that the use of a cell phone while driving leads to dangerous changes in drivers’ behaviour including: Change in average driving speed; Slower brake reaction time; Slower response times to traffic light changes; and Reduced visual monitoring of mirrors and instruments, with some drivers abandoning them entirely.

Texting While Driving

Transcript: Imagine a world without cellphones?! -Accidents are happening everyday from people texting while behind the wheel. -In 2011, 23% of auto collisions involved cell phone use which is 1.3 million crashes a year due to this dangerous activity people are doing while driving. -Also, it slows down your brake reaction by 18%. -People who text while driving spend 10% of their time outside the lane then they do inside the lane. -Technology has gone up in the past few years and is now a huge cause for accidents everyday. Which leads me to my next point. How Dangerous Is This? - The roads would be a lot safer! - Amount of car crashes a year would decrease. - Less injuries and deaths. However we live in a world where technology is a huge part of our lives. Meaning people are always on it, even at times where it is uncalled for. While driving being one of them. As a result, it causes accidents everyday, people getting hurt and even killed. By: Jillian Cozzubbo Conclusion Introduction Take ACTION and do not ignore this dangerous cause. Think of all the times where you hear people are getting hurt and dieing from people texting while driving. What if that is you one day? Any text can wait and is not that important where you need to answer while behind the wheel. Everyone does it but it is something that cannot be ignored and needs to stop. So to prevent any accidents involving you, next time you get into the car, try turning off your phone or putting it away while you are driving. It will allow you to concentrate on the road and not your phone. Also, ask yourself this: Do you want those 5 seconds it takes to reply to be the last of your life? How can we prevent this? Society is so attached to technology today that people use it every second they get! It is even being down behind the wheel. How to prevent this: -"Do Not Disturb" option is something on the Iphone that can be turned on and off. When it is on, it does not allow your phone to notify you when you receive a phone call or text message. -Put your phone away somewhere you cannot reach it or hear it. Like your purse or in the back seat. -Turn your phone off while driving. -If your with someone, have them text for you so you are not distracted. Texting While Driving Almost everyone can admit that they have texted while driving. I'll be the first to admit i have texted while driving thinking how nothing will happen. Well, did you know even though you take your eyes off the road for 5 seconds, it is just like driving across a whole football field blind folded at 55mph? Believe it or not but when you text while behind the wheel you are doing something in comparison to that. Now no one will disagree when one says how dangerous drunk driving is. Well texting while driving is just as bad! So today, I want to show you how dangerous it is and to get you to understand that no text is more important than your life..

My team's instincts tell us that we should be careful when deciding whether we want to ride with a driver who is not careful, or a driver who texts while he/she drives. We have to be alert as the passenger, and if we are the driver, we have to keep our attention on the road. What are our team's guy reaction to this? It is dangerous and deadly. It is important to be alert when the driver is at the wheel. We've heard of stories when people have risked their life to text while driving on the road. Young people tend to think that they are invincible, so they do it, thinking that everything will be okay. What is Texting While Driving? The Reason People Can't Quit Texting! Don't realize the amount of danger they put other people and themselves in. Don't believe it could happen to them. Think they are pro at multitasking! Have the need to reply right away. The fact is, you can make as many laws as you want, but people are still going to do as they please for as long as they can get away with it. The Facts text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted. (VTTI) According to a poll taken in 2011, 49% of drivers under the age of 35 send or read text messages while driving. Sending or receiving a text takes a driver's eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent at -55mph- of driving the length of an entire football field blind.
