Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
Fun fact: If you drive and text you’re a friggin’ moran

Fun fact: If you drive and text you’re a friggin’ moran

You know, it’s pretty sad that research had to be conducted to show that driving while texting isn’t such a good idea.

Researchers analyzed the six seconds leading up to a crash in nearly 1,700 videos of teen drivers taken from in-vehicle event recorders. The results showed that distraction was a factor in 58 percent of all crashes studied, including 89 percent of road-departure crashes and 76 percent of rear-end crashes. NHTSA previously has estimated that distraction is a factor in only 14 percent of all teen driver crashes.

Of course I’m glad they decided to take the time to point this out, because we live in a world where you practically have to have warning signs on everything.
