PSA: No Textin' and Drivin' Please!

Young people believe they are invincible and that's what makes them so exciting and infuriating all at the same time. But this year, with spring afoot and more teens venturing out and spring break driving, let's stay safe this first vacation season and say NO to textin' and drivin'. Below are some stats on the deadly phenomenon of texting and driving and this is one keepsake occasion we do not want in our lives...

Here are some statistics as to why texting is so dangerous:

* When a driver texts while driving, his reaction time will decrease by 35%
* When texting, steering capability goes down by a tremendous amount; 91%.
* A driver is 23x's more likely to get into a car accident while driving and texting.
* Drivers are also 6x's as likely to get into a car accident while dialing a number into their cell phone.

This isn't just for teens and young adults... older more experienced drivers are also offenders of texting while driving- its just teens already more prone to crash even without texting.

Let's make this a safer spring season all around and safer 2012, pledge and DO NOT text and drive!
