Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of distracteddriving accidents is the mobile phone He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving If you＇re texting while driving you are twentythree times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn＇t
Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem For example the insurance industry recently held a safety event for teen drivers At first nineteenyearold Kevin Schumann easily avoided large inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road Then as part of the test he started texting He hit several cones and at least one doll That＇s what really opened up the experience for me to prove how bad it is to really text and drive
