Texting & Driving isn’t just a teen problem… more and more adults do it everyday! The lid hiding the misconception of texting and driving has been uncovered, and the fact is there are more adults who text and drive than teens. So what does that mean to you? That means that there are more seasoned, commuters on the road who believe that they’re capable of texting while operating a motor vehicle and putting more and more people in danger now than ever before. If you find yourself in a road accident caused by a distracted driver, working with a civil litigation attorney or personal injury lawyer can help ensure that your rights are protected. It is highly recommended to get the services of an auto accident attorney with years of experience and expertise in handling car accident cases to get the compensation you deserve.
Earlier this year, AT&T released the results of its latest commuter survey which showed 49% of commuters admitted to texting and driving versus 43% of teens. These findings finally dispelled the myth that texting and driving is predominantly a teen problem, when in fact, commuters are more guilty of it.
While there are impactful psa commercials on tv & celebrities like Gabby Douglass and Demi Lovato bringing light to the #ItCanWait campaign, many people still do not realize the dangers that texting while driving can cause.
