We are on the edge of our seats waiting for someone to respond to an important text. That text feels like the most important thing in the world. But is it more important than your life?]]> 2021-10-13 15:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814358190 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814365110 In New Jersey, texting while driving is BANNED!!! Although you can text while you are at a red light or in traffic, it is highly discouraged!!!]]> 2021-10-13 15:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814365110 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814377399 WRONG!!! The reaction time when you are under the influence of alchohol or on drugs is 120 milliseconds. That may seem like a lot, but then when you compare it to the reaction time of texting while driving, which is 16 seconds, the difference is whopping. Texting while driving is the same as drinking 4 beers.]]> 2021-10-13 15:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814377399 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814380937 First of all, 11 teenagers die every day from texting while driving. That is a large amount. Also, if you use a cellphone while driving, your reaction time is the same as that of a 70 year old. The NHTSA estimates that every day 660,000 drivers use electronic devices while behind the wheel. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year.]]> 2021-10-13 15:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1814380937 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1815331424 2021-10-13 23:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1815331424 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1815362853 2021-10-13 23:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1815362853 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1817052017 2021-10-14 13:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1817052017 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1817061881 2021-10-14 13:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1817061881 tollinskya2022 https://padlet.com/tollinskya2022/yjjkylhvto33s4zc/wish/1817151060 Many states have use ticketing as a reasonable consequence for drinking and driving. The cost of the tickets can fall somewhere between $20 and $500. This can change depending on the state, and in states like Iowa and Alaska, the cost can go all the way up to $1000.
Not only do tickets cost money, but once you have a texting and driving offense on your record, your car insurance can go up. The average increase rate is 23% after getting a texting ticket, and overall can fall anywhere between a 12-45% increase.
