While teens acknowledge texting and driving is very distracting, 46% of teens admit to such behavior. Not only do teens say that texting is their greatest distraction while driving, but it has tangible costs! Text-messaging while driving is becoming as dangerous as drinking and driving, in terms of inhibiting a teen’s driving abilities. It has become such a problem that if you are caught texting while driving you can receive a fine of up to $300!!!
