Have you mastered the art of texting and driving?

It’s nothing to brag about.

77% of young adults are confident that they can safely text whilst driving, and 55% claim it is “easy to text and drive”.

It’s not just a problem that affects young drivers, however. Studies show that it could be a learned habit.

Around half of young drivers have seen their parents drive whilst talking or texting on a cell phone, and 48% of 12-to-17 year-olds have been in a car while the driver was texting.

This video highlights just one of many dangers of cell phone use whilst driving.

Rough translation of text from the video: “Think you can predict danger when you use your cell phone whilst driving?” “Think Again”.
