A vehicle traveling at 40 mph will cover 60 feet in one second. In five seconds, that vehicle will travel the length of a football field. For a driver to not pay attention while driving is to engage in dangerous, reckless conduct. In the mere seconds it takes to respond to a text, check social media, or visit a web page via a mobile device while driving, a life could be changed forever.

According to a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, activities like texting and other distractions slow down a driver’s reaction time. In fact, the study found that the driver reacted similarly to if he or she had been intoxicated. In that slowed reaction time is where accidents occur, many serious and life-altering.
