Summary:

"First it was drinking. Then it was cell phones. Now text-messaging is the latest behind-the-wheel activity lawmakers are trying to curb. A Nationwide Insurance survey found that 18% of cell phone owners text and drive and that drivers between the ages of 16 and 30 are the most frequent texters. Young adults have even posted videos of themselves texting while driving on YouTube, and nearly 600 people have joined a Facebook group called "I Text Message People While Driving And I Haven't Crashed Yet!"
This article is mostly trying to get out to people that driving while texting is a distraction, and very dangerous. It also talks about how it would be hard to enforce the law because its hard to see someone texting because texting is usually lower.

Response:

I agree with this article and I think this is a huge issue in this society. Lots of deaths and injuries are caused because of people wanting to to text while driving. Texting while driving is very dangerous and it should be a law that if your caught texting while driving you would recieve a huge ticket. This would prevent lots of deaths and would make the rodes a lot safer!
