Drivers are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident when distracted

Take the pledge not to text and drive - there's no text worth dying for!

Sending or receiving a text takes a driver's eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent - at 55 mph - of driving the length of an entire football field, totally, completely blind..

It's almost unimaginable - people who would never think of closing their eyes while they drive at 55 MPH on the highway are doing the functional equivalent when sending or reading a text message. Why? On average, someone takes just under five seconds to send or read a text - in that time you've traveled 300 feet without looking at the road.

Put this another way - for people who would never think about drinking and driving - texting while driving has the same impairment on your driving ability as a blood-alcohol content of 0.8% - the legal limit. In short, it's like driving drunk.
