Texting-while-driving could increase risk of accident for teens
December 18th, 2009

Texting while behind the wheel is common among teens and dangerousA notable rise in the number of teenagers who are text messaging behind the wheel may also be increasing the likelihood of auto accidents that could leave one’’s car in need of urgent repair.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 26 percent of American teenagers between the ages of 12-17 admitted that they have texted while behind the wheel of a car, while 48 percent say they have been in a car where the driver has been texting.

Referencing the report, the Insurance Information Institute said that texting-while-driving was an increasing danger for motorists, and added that it was only the latest distraction facing teens behind the wheel – joining other activities such as eating or talking on their cell phones.

"Even the best teenage drivers don”t have the judgment that comes from experience," said Michal Barry, the institute’’s vice president of media relations. "It affects their recognition of, and response to, hazardous situations and results in dangerous practices such as speeding and tailgating."

Having a teenager behind the wheel may lead to an eventual accident that leaves the car inoperable and in need of repairs so it can run properly. In cases such as these, getting fast cash through a payday loan to complete repairs as quickly as possible may be a viable option for those who rely on their cars for their profession.
