Text while driving? THINK again!

Reaction time is slowed down by about 35% while texting compared to 12% when drinking and driving (at the legal limit). Texting also worsens steering control by 91%. We all know the perils of drinking and driving, but who would have thought something as innocent as sending a text?

Texting is illegal in only 4 states, including Washington. But most believe it should be illegal in all. According to a recent poll by Daily Fuel Economy Tip, when asked "Do you think it should be illegal to text while driving?”

• 78% said texting while driving should be illegal
  
• 19% said texting while driving should not be illegal
  
• 3% said they were unsure or had no opinion
  

Do you think before you text?
