Teenage Accidents Support Passage of Texas Cell Phone Laws

It should be safe to bet that if you own a cell phone, you have at one time or another used it while driving.  While most of us are guilty of this sin at times, most of us would like to think we do so appropriately.  With a growing trend across the country to ban all cell phone usage and texting while driving all together, Texas isn’t following this trend just yet.  Texas Legislators tried recently to pass legislation but failed because Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the Legislature’s ban on text messaging.  Perry believes the distracted driving legislation is a “government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults.” Perry also feels “the keys to dissuading drivers of all ages from texting while driving are information and education.” The only area where Perry doesn’t seem to mind taking away freedom of choice in this matter is when it comes to under age drivers and school zones.  Below is a list of the newly passed Texas distracted drivers laws for your education and some teenage driver’s statistics that should make you happy these laws are in effect.

 

Texas Distracted Drivers Laws:

• Drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from using cell phones and text messaging devices.

• Drivers prohibited from using handheld devices in school crossing zones.

• School bus operators prohibited from using cell phones while driving if children are present.

• Learners permit holders are prohibited from using handheld cell phones in the first six months of driving.

 

2009 Teenage Accident Statistics and Cell Phones

• Talking on a cell phone while driving can make a young driver’s reaction time as slow as that of a 70-year-old

• 56% of teenagers admit to talking on their cell phones behind the wheel

• Teens admittedly say that texting is their number one driver distraction

• 34% of drivers under 18 admit to texting while driving

• 48% of young Americans ages 12-17 say they’ve been in a car while the driver was texting

• Each year, 21% of fatal car crashes involving teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 were the result of cell phone usage

• The AAA reports that car and traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 20 years old
