Texting While Driving

Did you know?

Nearly 1 out of every 4 motor vehicle crashes involve cell phone use.

62% of drivers recognize that talking on a cell phone is a very serious threat to their personal safety.

Yet more than 2 out of every 3 drivers admit to talking on their cell phone in the past month.

October 2008 President Obama signed an executive order banning 4.5 million employees from texting while driving. Who employees?

The federal government, including military, federal workers are banned, effective immediately, from text messaging when they are behind the wheel of government vehicles and from texting in their own cars if they use government issued phones or are on official business.
