Research has found that those who text message while driving are approximately 23 times more likely to get into a crash compared to those who do not engage in this behavior. This significant increase in risk can be attributed to the distraction caused by texting, which diverts attention away from the road and impairs reaction times. Consequently, texting while driving poses a serious threat to both the driver and others on the road.
