texting


            Texting is one of the things most of us do now a days; it is something we do to communicate with our friends or family or significant other. It keeps us entertained on a daily basis; however, texting may also be bad for some people. One thing you should never do is text while driving; you are putting your life as well as other’s lives at risk. It can be a huge distraction! When people text and drive at the same time they usually tend to keep their eyes on their phone and not the road. That’s where the accidents start to occur. In my opinion, texting or talking on the phone while driving is just as bad as driving while intoxicated because when you’re intoxicated you drive recklessly and sometimes don’t know what you are doing; and when you’re texting while driving you get so distracted and can hit someone who is crossing the street or run through a red light or stop sign, or hit a car and seriously injure someone. All in all texting while driving is something people shouldn’t be doing, if it’s a really important text message, then just pull over and reply or something, but don’t do it while driving.

  1. I agree with you about texting being a distraction. I agree that is as bad as driving while intoxicated. I wish more people were aware of the dangers they put themselves through when they text and drive.

  3. If you really have to text the person pull over and do so that is the way it should be because your not thinking about the others you can harm with a simple text.

  5. When you text and drive people should not be surprised that they get in an accident, so just don't text and drive its a bad idea from the start.

  7. I agree, your life is not worth a text; if you really need to text the person back and can't wait, you should pull over and do so.
