So texting while driving is perfectly safe and can't hurt anyone?
Every day, approximately eight fatalities in the United States are linked to crashes involving a distracted driver, with over 3,100 lives lost and 324,000 people injured in 2020.

7 percent of drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were distracted at the time of the accident.

Drivers in their 20s account for 25 percent of the individuals involved in fatal crashes due to distraction.

Engaging in visual-manual subtasks, such as reaching for a phone, dialing, or texting, while using hand-held devices increases the risk of being involved in a crash by three times compared to non-distracted drivers.



I would say death is much worse than a concussion. One you can come back from, the other... not so much.
