...from a 2013 article, Study: Texting And Driving Kills More Teens Annually Than Drinking And Driving:
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Texting while driving has now surpassed drinking and driving as the leading cause of death among teens, according to a new study.
More teens die annually from texting while driving than for driving under the influence of alcohol, according to a study by Cohen Childrens Medical Center in New Hyde Park.
Despite a national ad campaign and a national dialog on the dangers, the study reveals stunning new numbers: 50 percent of students text while driving and half of high school kids who drive said they text behind the wheel, CBS 2s Carolyn Gusoff reported.
The reality is kids arent drinking seven days per week they are carrying their phones and texting seven days per week, so you intuitively know this a more common occurrence, Dr. Andrew Adesman, Chief Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Cohen Childrens Medical Center told Gusoff.
Adesman, the chief author of the study, found that laws against texting while driving are not effective. Fifty-seven percent of boys said they text while driving in states with texting laws, and 59 percent said they text while driving in states that dont have texting laws, according to the study.
