As dangerous as it is.. do you still text while driving?? Well, you’re not alone. Despite bans in 7 states a recent study suggests a quarter of American cell phone users still text, tweet, email or blog while driving.
Drivers in Tennessee were the biggest offenders. 42 percent admit to the habit. A ban on using a cell phone to text while driving goes into effect in Tennessee in July.
The survey was carried out on behalf of mobile voice technology company Vlingo. "Texting is such an integral component of our daily lives, and the cautionary tales about DWT danger have not stemmed the tide," said Dave Grannan, CEO of Vlingo.
Text messaging has been blamed for a number of recent high profile accidents, including a train crash in the Los Angeles area last September in which 25 people were killed, and a Boston trolley crash this month in which almost 50 people were injured.
DWT is a dangerous habit. Break it or it’ll break you.
