According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), texting and driving is six times more dangerous than driving under the influence of alcohol. Teen drivers are more likely than any other age group to be involved in fatal crashes where distraction has been reported. In 2009, 16 percent of teens involved in fatal accidents were found to be distracted. (NHTSA)
A report from the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis states that texting while driving or in a truck causes more than 3,000 deaths and over 330,000 injuries per year. Texting while driving has become the number one cause of accidents and fatalities among teen drivers. However, it’s not just teens who text while driving—nearly half of adult drivers surveyed admitted to doing the same. Drivers who text are 23 times more likely to cause a collision than those who don’t text.
Parents should talk to their teenagers about the dangers of texting while driving and other distracted driving behaviors.
