The people that text and drive are mostly teens, they never seem to put their phones down. Many teens have died from texting while driving, but that will never put an effect to the teens. You can tell a teen to stop texting and driving but they will never listen, they will keep doing it till they end up in an accident. About 1,300,000 are killed by car accidents, most of them are caused by distracted drivers. Many people do get killed by the accident but many are left disabled, meaning they won't be able to walk for years, but they are also left with the memory of them getting ran over. So many people nowadays stay on their phone, a text can wait. If you're are a traffic light, that text can wait till you're at your destination. Yes, there are many impatient people,but they should understand there are many people dying by one simple text, or a simple call.

By being distracted by their phone, they don't pay attention. A teen can look down for a quick second and they could run over a kid. Many people need to realize that texting while driving can cost a lot, it can cost someone's life.

Even adults end up killing children. If you can't wait to send a text after you finish driving, then you shouldn't be driving at all.
