Why Texting While Driving Is More Dangerous Than You Think  

Linda had been looking forward to her trip to the Grand Canyon for weeks. She packed her bags, checked the oil, and set out on the open road. The sun was shining, and the desert scenery was breathtaking. But as she merged onto the highway, her phone beeped with a text message. Without thinking, she picked up her phone and read the message. In this blog by Lexus of Tucson Automall, we’ll discuss why texting while driving is more dangerous than you think.

That split-second decision changed everything. Linda’s car swerved off the road, crashing into a tree. She was lucky to escape with only minor injuries, but the damage to her vehicle was extensive.  

Texting while driving is an extremely dangerous habit that has become all too common today. It’s estimated that texting is six times more likely to cause an accident than driving under alcohol. Despite these sobering statistics, many people continue to engage in this dangerous behavior.  

The risks of texting while driving are clear. When you take your eyes off the road, even for a few seconds, you increase your chances of getting into an accident. Your reaction time is slowed, and you’re less likely to notice potential hazards on the road. Studies have shown that texting while driving can be more dangerous than driving while intoxicated.  

At Lexus of Tucson Automall, safe driving should be a top priority for everyone on the road. That’s why we urge all drivers to put down their phones and focus on the task. Pull over or wait until you reach your destination if you need to send a message.
