The National Highway Traffic Safety Adminstration investigated and then published a report in September of 2009 stating 5,870 people were killed in 2008 and an additional 515,000 were injured due to distracted driving. In October 2009, a press release was published the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute that reported texing is the most dangerous of all cell phone activities. Texting while driving has may cause serious accidents which can also cause death. If you text while driving the following link shows a video of what could happen to you.
That video was a very god installment to add. It really hit the point home how that anyone can get into an accident, and it showed the affects it could cause and the trauma. This is a good topic also because many kids text and drive and even though they know the dangers of it, they don't really think that any of this could ever happen to them.
