Texting While Driving?

Hey everybody,

Texting while driving is not a serious infracrtion but is commited by lots of age groups daily! Texting while driving puts all drivers on the road in danger and can ultimatly kill. Therefore, texting while driving, although it does not seem very bad, should be prohibited.
After reading my blog, I hope that you think twice about texting while driving.

What is texting?

Texting is also known as SMS, Short Message Service. The information for this entry is all found in an article on the Car and Driver website
“text messaging”—brief messages limited to 160 characters that can be sent or received on all modern mobile phones.
Statistics
[Texting] is on the rise, up from 9.8 billion messages a month in December ’05 to 110.4 billion in December ’08.


The amount of text messages sent is becoming increasingly popular and without a doubt, some of these texts are being sent by people driving. Therefore, I agree with the statement that texting is starting to become a serious problem in the United States. To back up this statement, I found other soureces that agree with the statistics above, and my opinion.
In an article on Opposing Viewpoints, it says: 
Over all, texting has soared. In December, phone users in the United States sent 110 billion messages, a tenfold increase in just three years.
This quotation also shows that texting has been and continues to rise.  Texting is becoming more and more serious every year.
