In 2011 23% of vehicles and people involved in accidents were on their phones. 

Takes 5 seconds to read a text. At 60mpg thats 88 feet per second. You went a ways without looking.

I used to be a driver for a tow company. My two accidents I had to sweep up were texting and driving.

I dont want anyone to get hurt is all. 

You're 23 TIMES more likely to get into a crash while texting and driving.
