We do not have the accessories and dedicated agencies seen after the accidents...so need to adhere to the self-discipline of non-usage ....of mobiles while driving or riding a bike.

You might not call it inspirational but it might save your life.
There is much talk concerning cell phones and the accidents that they cause. Some states have banned cell phone use without a headset and made texting while driving illegal.
Cell phone use while driving can indeed be distracting and dangerous, but I didn't realize the full truth until I read a report on the actual stats of cell phone use while driving.
1. Roughly one in four car crashes involves cell phone use.
2. Texting increases your chances of an accident 23 times.
3. In one study, cell phone users were actually more dangerous than drunk drivers:
4. The greatest danger are to those in their late teens and 20s.
So what does this mean?
It means keep your eyes on the road and off of your phone. As usual, real danger is often in different places than it's hyped up to be and things we don't fear often do the most damage.
Forward this to all people in their teens and 20s and tell them to:
1. Watch the four videos below.
2. Don't text or talk on the phone while driving.
3. Don't drink and drive.
4. Don't get in the car with anyone who has been drinking.
These videos are very graphic but a crash is very graphic.

Your Last Text - Texting while Driving
Take out your wireless device. Read the last text message you received out loud. Would reading or responding to that text message from behind the wheel of a moving vehicle be worth the risk of getting into a car accident or worse? Chances are, the text message could wait.

Stop Texting and Please Start Driving
This is a video that I (Chris) filmed and edited for Rigby High Schools Student Council, it was a sobering experience for me to see what really happens when the EMT'S, Fire Fighters, and Police are called out to an accident for texting or drinking and driving. Some of these images may be graphic, viewer discretion is advised.
