One of the most dangerous distractions? Texting or talking on a hand-held cell phone involves THREE different types of distraction simultaneously: Visual-Taking your eyes off of the road Manual- Taking your hands off of the wheel Cognitive-Taking your mind off of driving http://www.itcanwait.com

Did you know? Typing or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for an average of 5 seconds. At 55 MPH, that is the equivalent of driving the length of a football field- BLINDFOLDED. If you text while you’re behind the wheel, you’re 20 times more likely to be involved in a crash than a non-distracted driver.

What is at stake? Every year, about 421,000 people are injured in crashes that involved a driver who was distracted. Last year, 3,154 people died in crashes caused by distracted driving. Texting and driving is 6 times more likely to get you in an accident than drunk driving. http://www.itcanwait.com

What is being done? The U.S. Department of Transportation is leading the fight to end distracted driving through a combination of: Tough Laws Strong Enforcement Increased public awareness http://www.itcanwait.com
