Most of the time teenagers are encouraged to put down their cell phones and stop texting, but a new sex education texting system may be paving the way for similar technology that could lower teenage car accident statistics.
As car accident attorneys, we know that cell phone usage while driving creates distracted motorists who cause automobile accidents. Many times when teenage drivers are distracted by a cell phone, they cause car crashes that have the potential to hurt someone or even take a life.
With cell phone programs evolving every day, such as using this sex education program, and nearly every teenager equipped with one, it begs the question: will new cell phones applications raise or lower teenage car accident statistics? Perhaps the next program to be available to teens is driver’s education one, offering a resource about tips to avoid car accidents or what you should do if you get in an auto accident, whether major or minor. This could teach more teenagers how to be safe drivers on the road and lower teenage car accident statistics.
On the other hand, maybe a program like this is just another distraction for teenagers who are already negligent drivers that cause car accidents while paying attention to their cell phones.
Suppose a teenage driver has the best intentions of using their cell phone to text message a question about car accidents on slippery roads as they drive in the rain. While they might be searching for tips on how to avoid a car crash, their eyes will not be on the road, and they could actually end up causing an auto accident instead of preventing one.
We, as car accident attorneys, believe that cell phones distract drivers on the road. Even if they can help lower teenage auto accident statistics, they are still too much of a temptation for teenagers behind the wheel to exist. To all parents with teen drivers: get the best car insurance policy available and make sure your teen ignores the phone when driving.
