Pennsylvania Cellphone and Texting Car Accidents
We live in a fast-paced society in which many people find it difficult to manage the competing demands of their work, family and personal lives. The ability to efficiently multitask has become increasingly necessary.
Unfortunately, our increased focus on multitasking has had some adverse consequences. One such area where multitasking has had negative and in fact deadly consequences is driving. Inappropriate cellphone use and texting have become a major contributing factor in auto accidents. In fact, the state of Pennsylvania has recently passed stringent laws designed to prohibit texting while driving and other forms of distracted driving.

Numerous studies have been conducted to study the impact of texting and driving. These studies show that texting dramatically slows reaction time and can significantly increase the likelihood of a motor vehicle accident. In fact, a recent article by Car and Driver magazine found that texting and driving actually slows reaction time more than drunk driving.

If drivers avert their attention from the road for just a second, they may cause an accident. They may unexpectedly swerve onto the side of the road and strike a pedestrian or bicyclist. In heavy traffic, a person who is texting may fail to notice that traffic has come to a sudden stop, thus causing a rear-end collision. In numerous ways, a driver who chooses to send a text message while driving is endangering other motorists and nearby pedestrians.
