According to DMV report, a person sending a text message while driving a car is exposed to the same danger as a driver who drives in 60 miles an hour, closing his or her eyes the entire time. Therefore, many drivers in large cities experience catastrophic accidents every year.
Many young drivers agree that it is dangerous to text while driving because one isn’t aware of what is happening on the road and also agree that many notifications on their smartphones can wait until they have reached their destination. They believe that their life is not something they want to exchange for a text message.
Many media outlets have also campaigned in various ways to reveal the dangers of texting while driving in an effort to prevent it from happening. For example, a commercial showing a friend, sitting in the passenger seat, who holds the driver’s hand every time the driver reaches for his or her phone is highly popular. It is humorous to see the awkward tension between the driver and the passenger, but it sends a good message as well.
