A recent article by William Hershey from the Dayton Daily News caught my eye as it highlighted the amount of teenagers that are texting while driving. Now, come on. Most of us text while driving, whether we are teenagers or not...and we know it's bad, but we still have that need to be connected in any way possible. Whether we are cutting off grandma or doing a rolling stop, we simply have to get the text out.
However, the article provided some figures that I would like to share.
More than 1 in 3 (34%) of texting teens ages 16-17 text while driving.
48% of 12-17 year olds say they have been in a car while the driver was texting.
75% ages 12-17 own a cell phone.
52% 16-17 year old cell phone owners talk on a cell phone while driving.
40% of 12-17 year olds have been in the car while the driver was on a phone.
So my question becomes: whr do u c ths goin n a yr? Hghr #s? Dunno...w8 n c.
