The Best Auto Resources readership should be well aware that texting and driving in Salt Lake City leads to requiring the services of a collision repair Salt Lake City and worse.  Distracted driving is on the upswing in the United States and we think it is fair to lay the blame squarely in the lap of the smartphone.  Distracted driving leads to car accidents and car accidents lead the car straight to the collision repair shop.  With any luck the passengers in the cars will emerge from the accident with only minor scrapes and bruises but all too often they will emerge with major injuries or (heaven forbid) not emerge at all. 

The way to avoid heading to the collision repair shop is to stop texting while driving.  Of course there are other ways to wind up in a collision repair shop but the simple act of refraining from texting while driving will go a long way towards avoiding ending up in a collision repair shop.

In other words, no matter how safe you are as a driver, another driver could be acting irresponsible and cause an accident through no fault of your own.  Perhaps the only way to avoid an accident is entirely is to not drive at all.  Even then a car could run you over unless you happen to be standing in a location inaccessible to cars.
