Don't Text and Drive Statistics Individuals who drive while sending or reading text messages are 23 percent more likely to be involved in a car crash than other drivers. A crash typically happens within an average of three seconds after a driver is distracted. Spanish Version: Page 28 FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES WHEN DRIVING: Don't write, send or read a text message while driving, even when stopped at a red light or in traffic. These actions put you, and those around you, in danger. You may also be breaking the law. Many states are passing laws to restrict or ban the practice of text messaging while driving. Turn off your cell phone or PDA and put it in your pocket. Wait to use the device once you are safely and legally parked. Don't text while running, cycling or participating in other recreational sports.
