Texting & Driving

By: Monica N. Dazza G. and Jacquelyn M.

The Issue

• Texting while driving is a big problem.

• Fatal car crashes.• Too many deaths• Too many teens• Families have been destroyed.

Facts• 570,000 accidents leading to minor and

serious injuries are caused each year by cell phones.

• Texting and driving increases your chance of crashing by 25 percent.

Teens• 15 to 19 year olds make up the largest

proportion of distracted drivers.

• Talking on a cell phone while driving can make a young driver's reaction time as slow as that of a 70 year old.
