The average U.S. teen now sends or receives an average of 2,899 text messages per month. Using a cell phone while driving causes the reaction time of an 18-25 year old to be reduced to that of a 65-74 year old. It's estimated that 330,000 people are injured every year because of cellphone use while driving. 48% of all teens age 12-17 say they have been in a car when the driver was texting. At least 28% of all traffic crashes-or at least 1.6 million crashes each year-are caused by drivers talking on cell phones or texting.
