Text Messaging

You Could Be Arrested For Texting While Driving... Soon.

14 of the 50 United States have passed laws prohibiting the use of text messaging while driving. While various studies have been done to compare the use of driving and using a cell phone in a orthodox manner (i.e. talking) little has been studied on text messaging and driving. Although, one study by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, Virginia being one of the fourteen, has gone so far to say truck drivers are 5.9 times more likely, versus 2.8 for car drivers, to get in an accident. Conversely, truck drivers listen better, apparently 76% better, at 1 times likely instead of 1.3 times as likely with car drivers.
