Driving while Texting

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has now developed a website, stoptextsstopwrecks.org, devoted to getting drivers to understand the dangers of texting while driving. According to data from this site, it is 23 times more probable that a texting driver will bring in an accident than one who does not use text. If you have been in a car accident with a driver who was distracted by texting, a car accident attorney may be able to help you. When the laws concerning texting while driving first came into being, they were not enforced heavily. This is changing. More and more, it is found to be pure negligence of the responsibilities of good drivers to even read texts while behind the wheel. More about our Car Accident attorney San Antonio here

At our Law Firm, has decades of experience handling car and truck accidents have seen the evolution of an entirely new set of laws concerning “distracted driving.” A survey conducted by the NHTSA found the following: Overall, the results of the first national phone survey on distracted driving suggest that the driving population underestimates the danger of using a cell phone or texting while driving, and a significant proportion does not hesitate to talk on a cell phone or text while driving. Most do not believe their driving is affected when they use these electronic devices, but they feel unsafe when riding as a passenger with another driver who is talking on a handheld phone or texting.
