Many drivers though have a feeling that texting and driving are dangerous for everybody but except them. They don’t include themselves and do not consider it as a risk. They assume it is a cool activity but they are misinterpreting the situation and its aftermath.
Some of the statistics behind texting and driving are as follows which is indeed terrible:
- It is a fact that people who text while driving are more likely to be prone to accidents than those who drive while intoxicated. In other words, you are less likely to get into an accident if you are at a drunken stage.
