Text Messaging And Driving

Text messaging is a common way to stay in touch with friends and family, but it can be a major distraction for drivers while behind the wheel. When a driver is texting or browsing their phone, they are more likely to take their eyes off the road, accelerate or brake involuntarily, and lose control of their vehicle.

This increased risk can put not only the driver at serious danger but also children in the car with them. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting and driving is a leading cause of teen deaths on American roads. The NHTSA reports that in 2019, a staggering 3,142 teenagers were killed in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers.

Furthermore, texting while driving can also lead to serious injuries and long-term damage to one's driving record. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) estimates that texting and driving increases the risk of crash involvement by 23 times higher than not using a phone at all while driving.

How to Stay Safe While Driving

"There is no safe way to text or drive," said Karen Johnson, director of the National Council on Substance Abuse and Health. "However, if you must use your phone while driving, make sure it's a hands-free device and keep your eyes on the road at all times." She also emphasizes that setting a good example for children is essential in preventing the risks associated with texting and driving.

"Parents should teach their kids about the dangers of texting and driving and set clear rules around phone use while driving," Johnson said. "And if your child gets into an accident, be sure to report it immediately." By taking these precautions, drivers can reduce their risk of being involved in a crash while also protecting children's safety.
