Texting While Driving = More Likely to Wreck = DUH

Some highlights:

“You should never do this,” he [Tom Dingus...yes, the guy in charge has the name Tom Dingus] said of texting while driving. “It should be illegal.”

Over all, texting has soared. In December, phone users in the United States sent 110 billion messages, a tenfold increase in just three years...

...drivers took their eyes off the road for around five seconds when texting.

...texting represents a much greater risk to drivers than other distractions.

87 percent of people consider drivers texting or e-mailing to pose a “very serious” safety threat (roughly equal to the 90 percent who consider drunken drivers a threat). Of the 2,501 drivers surveyed this spring, 95 percent said that texting was unacceptable behavior. Yet 21 percent of drivers said they had recently texted or e-mailed while driving. About half of drivers 16 to 24 said they had texted while driving, compared with 22 percent of drivers 35 to 44.

What kind of Christmas did you have?

2009-02-09T08:52:00.000-05:00

"...there is the kind of Christmas with presents piled high, the gifts of guilty parents as bribes because they have nothing else to give. The wrappings are ripped off and the presents are thrown down and at the end the child says – ‘Is that all?’ Well it seems to me that America now is like that second kind of Christmas. Having too many THINGS they spend their hours and money on the couch searching for a soul. A strange species we are. We can stand anything God and Nature can throw at us save only plenty. If I wanted to destroy a nation, I would give it too much and I would have it on its knees, miserable, greedy and sick."
~John Steinbeck

Txting while driving

2008-09-26T17:56:00.002-04:00

AAA study: 46 percent of teens text while driving

What're they supposed to do, pull over every 45 seconds?

According to a national survey of 1,000 16- and 17-year-old drivers released on July 10 by AAA, 46 percent send text messages with their cell phones while driving.

To the folks at AAA, that's a high number, with alarming safety implications.

To Albuquerque 18-year-old Jesse Gallagher, it's par for the course.

"I bet it's even more than that," he said on July 10.

Gallagher doesn't know how many times he texts in a day, but said he receives or sends a text message about every 45 seconds to a minute.

"You learn to text without looking," he said. "Then it gets easier."

Maybe not quite easy enough. About a month ago, Gallagher said, he was involved in an accident that "was really the other guy's fault."

"I was texting and the guy cut in front of me," he said. "Then I looked up and he put on his brakes and I didn't have enough time to stop."

Gallagher also said he has been cited for talking on his cell phone while driving.

To AAA, distractions while driving are a critical safety problem.

"Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 killer of teens, claiming more than 6,000 15- to 20-year-olds each year," AAA New Mexico spokeswoman Jeannie Chavez said in a press release. "Their attention should not be divided among phones, friends and the road."

Texting while driving is more dangerous than drink-driving

Texting while driving is riskier than driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a study has suggested.

The Transport Research Laboratory found that motorists who use their mobile phone to send text messages while on the road dramatically increase the likelihood of collision.

Their reaction times deteriorated by 35 per cent, much worse than those who drank alcohol at the legal limit, who were 12 per cent slower, or those who had taken cannabis, who were 21 per cent slower.

In addition, drivers who sent or read text messages were more prone to drift out of their lane, the research found, with steering control by texters 91 per cent poorer than that of drivers devoting their full concentration to the road. (emphasis mine)

Teen Survey

2008-04-14T09:19:00.002-04:00

Read this and see if you agree or disagree. Post a comment!
_____________________________________________
...a new study that was just released by OTX Research and The Intelligence Group on teens’ self image. according to the research, teens are happy!

they’re willing to spend a lot of money on their looks, however:

- 81% of teens said they were at least somewhat happy and over a third (36%) say they are very happy
- 61% of teens said they worry about their looks, and 48% said they compare the way they look with friends and peers.
- 50% of teens said looks and physical appearance were very important when it comes to ‘being respected by others’, but only 33% said it was important for ‘being liked by others’

Which leads to…
- The survey found that teens spend an average of $27 per month on health and
beauty products
- Deodorants were the most commonly used products used on a daily basis (84%)
- Whitening toothpastes (55%)
- lip balms (54%)
- perfumes (52%)
- and facial scrubs (44%)

And who is the most important influence when it comes to how teens feel about themselves? Not mom or dad, not even their friends….it’s their boyfriend or girlfriend (if they have one). Interestingly, religion comes second:
- Your girlfriend/boyfriend (84%)
- Your religion (82%)
- Your friends (79%)
- Your parents (74%)
- Your teacher(s) (72%)
- TV shows you watch (51%)
- Celebrities (e.g. actors, athletes, musicians) (49%)
- Magazines you read (38%)
- Advertising you see (on TV or elsewhere) (33%)
- Other kids in school (31%)

Some of the results from the last set of questions definitely feel like teens answered how they thought they should answer:
Would you rather…
Get a new car for your HS graduation (96%)
Get plastic surgery for your HS graduation (4%)
Exercise to lose weight (91%)
Take diet pills to lose weight (9%)
Get your College degree (90%)
Win American Idol (10%)
Have a lot of friends (76%)
Have a lot of money (24%)
Feel good (69%)
Look good (31%)
Be told you have a great personality (68%)
Be told you are hot (32%)
Be Comfortable (68%)
Be Fashionable (32%)
Be the smartest kid in school (55%)
Be the best looking kid in school (45%)
Be 10 pounds under normal weight (54%)
Be 10 pounds over normal weight (46%)
Be one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People (53%)
Be one of Forbes Magazine’s 50 Richest People (47%)

CNN reports at least 1 in 4 teen girls ages 14 to 19 in America has a sexually transmitted disease.

Who has an STD?

50% of black teen girls
20% of white teen girls
20% of Mexican-American teen girls

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted the research. It is heartbreaking to realize that so many teen girls have made the moral mistake of sex before marriage and are suffering because of it.

According to The Barna Group and LifeWay Research, 1 in 2 teens in America attend church. But sadly some of these church-going teens are also included in the statistic of STD carriers.
