Statistics show that 1/3 of teens or pre-teens carry a cell phone. While teens love them, parents can get charged for excess minutes and for text messaging.
If you put your 18-25 year old in a vehicle with a cell phone attached to their ear, statistics have proven that their reaction time is the same as a 70 year old who is not using a cell phone.
The studies also found that drivers regardless of their age-using cell phones-were 18% slower in hitting their brakes. There was also an increase of rear-end collisions with cell phone users.
Maybe they need to put a regular phone to their ear in the safety of their home to protect our highways.
