I chose to write about texting while driving. Texting while driving increased 50 percent last year, and two out of 10 drivers say they've sent text messages or emails while behind the wheel despite a rush by states to ban the practice, the National Traffic Safety Administration. Drivers talking into hand-held cell phones remained flat at 5 percent.Eighteen percent of drivers said they've sent text messages or emails while driving.The survey also found that most drivers will answer a phone call while driving and most will continue to drive after answering. The increase in texting while driving is alarming and it is not only harming and putting you in danger, but it is also putting all of the people around you in danger. When you text and drive, you have to take your eyes off the road and that might potentially cause you to get you and somebody else in an accident.
