Cause and effect of texting and driving
In today’s society texting and driving has become an increasingly serious issue. Not only is it now illegal which is a totally different subject itself; but its life threatening to you and many others. Texting takes only just moments, but in that moment it could harm a life or even take one for that matter.
What are the causes of texting while driving? It could be anything from being careless; to being in a hurry. In today’s time communication is limited, quick and short. Texting makes it easy to respond or tell someone something and still keep up with a busy lifestyle. Everyone is always in a hurry for some reason. We lived in a fast paced society. Almost everyone has a jam packed schedule, and they don’t take the time to slow down.
Another issue is peer pressure. Especially in teenagers, texting has become the new cool thing to do. Fitting in and having trends sadly becomes the only thing important in some teenagers lives. Keeping in touch and texting each other consumes their time and becomes a sole priority. Being a teenager myself I can relate to many of these issues. I personally have heard peers say they text and drive solely because they don’t want to be told what to do. It’s a rebellious action; texting while driving is now illegal and you will receive a fine if caught doing so. This same cause goes back to carelessness and lack of respect for the people among you.
Now coming to thinking you’re experienced to text and drive. Many people believe that teenagers are the only ones who text and drive because we are thought to be irresponsible, but I have seen and many “responsible” adults and even police officers partake in this behavior. Just because most adults have been driving for awhile and are referred to as experienced they still seem to text and drive. What I’m trying to get to is no matter how experienced you may be you can still cause bad thing to happen.
