This is obviously more dangerous than drinking and driving. Make no mistake about it. If you are texting and driving you are in danger of losing your own life or killing someone else and ending up in jail for a very long time. IS IT WORTH IT?

Texting and Driving Statistics

In VTTI’s studies that included light vehicle drivers and truck drivers, manual manipulation of phones such as dialing and texting of the cell phone lead to a substantial increase in the risk of being involved in a safety‐critical event (e.g., crash or near crash). However, talking or listening increased risk much less for light vehicles and not at all for trucks. Text messaging on a cell phone was associated with the highest risk of all cell phone related tasks.

Text messaging
23.2 times as high as non‐distracted driving
Explanation of Findings
Eye glance analyses were conducted to assess where drivers were looking while involved in a safety‐critical event and performing cell phone tasks. The tasks that draw the driver’s eyes away from the forward roadway were those with the highest risk.
