Don’t Text And Drive And Get An Instant Low Quote for Insurance In Northglenn

Everyone is always in a rush to get somewhere these days which causes reckless driving. Many people know that talking on the phone, texting, and doing other things like putting on makeup or eating causes accidents, but people continue to do them. Every year about 6,000 deaths and 1 million injuries are caused by distracted drivers. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that 23% of accidents involve cell phones. They are helpful, entertaining, and fun to use, but they are also dangerous to others and to yourself if they are used at the wrong time.

Driving is a privilege which can be taken away at any time if abused. A DUI is one of the leading reasons people lose their driver’s license and alcohol consumption is the leading cause of fatal accidents. The penalties for having a DUI vary from state to county. Most places all have one penalty in common: jail time on the 2nd DUI. I can confidently say that jail is a place we all know but no one wants to go. Do you think that driving while texting or using your cell phone will have serious penalties like a DUI someday? Well, they just might. Since the percent of accidents caused by people being distracted with cell phones continues to rise, lawmakers are looking at the consequences for using them more seriously. Be a safe driver and put your phone down while driving. If it’s absolutely necessary, wait until a stop light to or pull over on the side of the road, you never know whose life you could be saving.
