Despite the many warnings about it, numerous Dallas drivers still choose to text while driving. The dangers of this type of distracted driving activity again recently made national headlines following the death of a University of Northern Colorado student whose fatal text was released to the media. The message was shown to have been cut off before the student completed the sentence, which is said to be the moment his car crashed. Authorities suggest the 22-year-old driver drifted into oncoming traffic as he was texting.
Unfortunately, tragedies as this one happen too often. Texting is one of the most problematic dangerous distracted driving activities as statistics have shown because of the widespread scale on which it occurs. There have been many initiatives throughout the country aimed at reducing the incidence of texting while driving, but the problem persists as one that needs to continually be addressed. Drivers who engage in it for even a second take their focus off of the road and can unsuspectingly make a potentially fatal driving error.
Texting while driving is never a good idea. Sending messages of this type while one is supposed to be focused on driving is never an emergency and it is always best to wait until one has arrived at their destination before doing so. For those who have been injured in an accident linked to another driver’s negligence or engaging in any type of distracted driving while behind the wheel, legal help is available. One may be eligible to recover related damages for things such as pain and suffering and medical costs.
