Texting+While+Driving

If you text while you are driving, there is a very high probability that you will get into a car accident, whether it is major or minor. They are passing laws that say you can't text and drive because its like driving while your impaired. The same is said for talking on the phone while driving, but now with hands free phones, you are not at as great a risk for getting into an accident. Some people think that this does not affect them since they talk and text all the time, and they are so good at it that it only takes them a second to send a message. However, it only takes a second to get in to a car accident. That's why senators are trying to pass legislation to prevent texting while driving even though it is a lot harder to enforce than most think. I don't know how many cops cathch people driving when texting, but it would be interesting to see how many people get tickets for texting and driving.
