Kansas City Texting While Driving Attorney

About Texting While Driving

Driving requires a person's undivided attention. There are many elements on the road that are completely outside a driver's control. A deer could expectantly run out into the road, a nearby car could swerve into your lane, or a traffic jam could bring traffic to sudden standstill. All these situations can have a disastrous effect if the driver is not paying full attention to what is going on around him or her.

Within the last few years, more and more car accidents have been attributed to drivers who were texting on their cell phones while they were driving. Texting while driving seriously impairs an individual's reaction time if something unexpected happens on the road.

It takes an individual a significant amount of time to shift their attention from the message they are typing out on their phones to the road in front of them. Not only can the driver not see what is happening in front of and around their car, but texting makes his or her ability to respond to these changes while driving even harder. Texting while driving is an overwhelmingly serious danger for other individuals on the road.
