Sierra+Texting+and+Driving

Many people think that the most dangerous thing that we do on a daily basis is drive. When you think about it, it's true. The average car weighs about 4,000 lbs, you drive between 25-60 mph, generally, and then you have to factor in the environment and how it may affect your car and driving. When you put all those elements together, it creates a dangerous business that nearly everyone encounters day to day.

Now, when you think about all the things that several people do when driving, such as eating, talking on the phone and worst of all, texting. Texting while driving has been proven to be as dangerous, if not more, than driving while under the influence. After doing this reaction time lab, I've found that the reaction time while talking is low, and is even worse when texting. It's never worth it to risk your life and the life of others for a text. It's best to just not do it in the car.
