The practice has been banned due to the sharp increase in the chances of a car accident coming from a driver who is distracted by his or her cell phone. The behavior is often attributed to young people for whom cell phones have become an integral part of life. A recent study shows that, while teens certainly text and drive with alarming frequency, adults are actually greater offenders of texting behind the wheel. Teens may simply be mirroring the behavior of their parent&#8217;s generation.<\/p>\n<p>A large part of the challenge of making the roads safe from the dangers of texting and driving is the attitudes of many Americans toward the practice. The study was conducted by AT&amp;T and involved gathering survey responses from hundreds of teen and adult drivers. The survey showed that 98 percent of adult drivers are aware that texting and driving is a dangerous practice. Despite knowing that the behavior is unsafe, nearly 50 percent of them acknowledge texting and driving. Among teens, 43 percent admitted to texting and driving. Despite success in spreading the word about the dangerous nature of texting behind the wheel, laws and safety campaigns have not yet been successful at actually preventing people from engaging in this form of distracted driving.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seidmanlaw.net\/blog\/teens-cant-match-adults-for-dangerous-texting-frequency\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Teens Can\u2019t Match Adults For Dangerous Texting Frequency\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Car accidents | March 29, 2013 Texting and driving is a crime in most states, including Illinois.
