Texting, and on the Phone while driving. How Dangerous is it?

Tests have been done to show how dangerous it really is to be texting while you’re driving. When your texting you are more prone to drift out of your lane and into oncoming traffic, also your ability to stay a safe distance away from the car in front of you is reduced. The biggest issue is your reaction time which deteriorats by 35 per cent, people who have drunk the legal ammount of alcohol have reaction times of 12 per cent slower.


Texting keeps your eyes off the road and onto something that’s not even near the road but in your own car. If your concentrating on somthing other then the road you are obviously going to be making mistakes on the road.
