Fyi. 23 times riskier A recent study by Virginia Tech Institute, one of the world's largest vehicle safety research organisations, shows that the risk posed by texting while driving sharply exceeds previous estimates - easily surpassing other distractions behind the wheel. The researchers estimate that, when drivers send texts, the risk of collision is 23 times higher than normal. New research by the UK's Transport Research Laboratory indicates that writing or reading text messages while driving slows reaction time by 35%; put simply, it impairs motorists more than being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Papaano kaya yun eating while driving...sometimes we are guilty of that also di ba? Just don't forget to wear your seatbelts at all times whenever you drive including all your passengers (even if they are seated at the back) Let's all be safe. God bless you all. Gary S.
