DRIVING WHILE TEXTING INFOGRAPHIC

As mobile phones have become an everyday accessory (and practical necessity), their capabilities have gone beyond calling to allow for texting, emailing and internet surfing.

Have you ever sat at a stoplight and counted the number of drivers who are talking on the phone? Now imagine how many are taking their eyes off the road to text – and how many of them are inexperienced teen drivers.

 The statistics show that texting is more dangerous than talking on the phone and even drunk driving, as the infographic illustrates. Yet so many people text while driving and assume it isn’t as dangerous. 

Laws are coming up faster than a police cruiser in the rear view mirror to stop texting behind the wheel and it is a good thing; we can’t sit by idly while careless drivers continue to cause car accidents because they couldn’t put down their mobile phones.

 The incidence of driving while texting in Malaysia is more or less the same as that in the United States. The Malaysian Police should monitor closely and enforce the law in order to prevent unnecessary accidents due to the undisciplined drivers.

  1. You're absolutely right! Driving while texting is more dangerous than driving while talking on the phone. Nowadays, a lot of car accidents are caused by careless driving Toronto. These careless drivers can't put down their mobile phones.

  2. Thanks for your comment, Stacie. Lets do our part to make the public aware of the consequences of driving while texting and to suggest to the Police in our area to focus on enforcing law on these careless drivers besides their normal duties.Hopefully our efforts will curb accidents, injuries and lost of lives.
