I was recently in a roll-over accident, and I’m also doing a paper on this.
I’m a teen and I feel like I’m betraying your daughter but here are some more facts you may not have known:
1.) Texting is WORSE than talking on your phone. You take your eyes off the road for too long a period and thats how accidents happen.
2.) Some studies say that texting is almost the equivalent of being drunk as far as reactions are slowed and attention is lowered.
Also on a side note, motor accidents are the number 1 cause of death for teens.
You may want to recheck the list of distractions because the newer ones have cell phones at the tippety top.
I just wanted to straighten that out.
