No Matter the Vehicle, Sending Text Messages While Driving Increases Risk of Accidents, Warns New York Auto Accident Lawyer
Date:6/17/2009

ion the understanding of drivers and whether they know that their actions are jeopardizing the safety of vehicle occupants and pedestrians. Surveys indicate that nearly every driver -- an impressive 98 percent - considers him or herself a safe driver, but auto accident lawyers know that this is clearly not true in practice.

Increased reliance on cell phones has led to a rise in the number of people who use a cell phone while operating a vehicle. There are two dangers associated with driving and cell phone use, including text messaging. First, drivers must take their eyes off the road while dialing. Second, conversations demand continuous concentration that impairs the ability to concentrate on the act of driving. In fact, inattentive driving accounted for 6.4 percent of crash fatalities in 2003, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation in a report featuring the latest data available.

"Clearly, using a cell phone while driving is a risk to employees and those they share the road with. Employers who ignore this fact will increase the liability risk they face as a result," says top New York auto accident lawyer Perecman.
