This infographic boils down to people saying this: texting while driving is a problem when other people do it.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. It’s a problem when anyone does it – and lots of people are doing it.
Accident statistics and traffic studies say that a texting driver is 23 times more likely to crash than a non-texting driver.
Yet as even a casual observer can see – do it yourself: look around at other drivers in traffic – the message doesn’t seem to be getting through.
Sadly, the very last things thousands of people have ever said are messages like these: LOL, L8R, BRB, OMG, IDK…
Are those messages really worth risking lives over?
