Texting While Driving
Here are some statistics related to texting while driving in the States:
- Of all cell phone related tasks – including talking, dialing, or reaching for the phone – texting while driving is the most dangerous
- For every 6 seconds of drive time, a driver sending or receiving a text message spends 4.6 of those seconds with their eyes off the road. This makes texting the most distracting of all cell phone related tasks.
- Texting while driving is about 6 times more likely to result in an accident than driving while intoxicated
- 28% of traffic accidents occur when people talk on cell phones or send text messages while driving
I’m just concerned towards Indonesian people who can’t take their hands off their mobile phones… 🙁
