DANGERS OF TEXTING AT THE WHEEL
The dangers of texting whilst driving are highlighted in a new hard-hitting
THINK! Campaign which has been launched after research showed that 30%
of young drivers admitted to texting at the wheel.
Using a mobile phone at the wheel is considered the second most
unacceptable driving behaviour among motorists with 93% agreeing that
texting while driving is dangerous. However, 12% of all motorists admit to
texting while driving.
The new "Think" radio advert features a driver's voice spelling out a text message followed by the harrowing sound of a car crash.
If you do not want to bcome and accident statistic or cause someone else to become one, do not text or use your mobile phone without an hands free kit whilst driving. Remember it may only take a split second of lost concentration to cause an accident!
