Texting-While-Driving Bans Result in More Accidents


A texter will continue to text, regardless of whether they?re breaking the law. According to USA Today, texting bans actually increase the number of crashes. Why? Because instead of waiting until they are off the road to compose a message, people instead just lower their phones to avoid police scrutiny. Unfortunately, their eyes tend to follow suit.

Texting while behind the wheel isn?t the only thing that can distract a driver. USA Today compiled a list of more unusual ways people have lost their concentration. My favorite is the woman pulled over with 15 cats in her backseat.
