"Many critics believe that resources would be better spent preventing texting while driving with campaigns such as AT&T's "It Can Wait" ads. Texting while driving causes 1.6 million accidents per year, and is responsible for 11 teen deaths every day. It is the number one distraction reported by teen driving, causing similar effects to driving after four beers. Texting while driving, however, often comes with no more than a fine."

Notice in many situations when it's your people killing people it's no big deal but when it's THOSE people killing people EVERYONE LOSES THEIR MIND.

Here's a few more stats. The ambivalence of MADD is curious.

Cell Phone Use While Driving Statistics

Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving.

1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.

Texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.
