According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, almost 400,000 people are injured each year due to a distracted driver. Research shows that a person reading a text message may take his or her eyes of the road for nearly five seconds. At 55 mph, that is like driving the length of an entire football filed, blindfolded.
