text: There are many distractions that happen while driving and on your cellphone for instance; sending a quick message it doesn't take long right? According to a Virginia department of transportation website, it takes 3 seconds to have a car crash and fatally injure you or someone else, or even result in death. Although eating and driving is dangerous, studies from the Decide to Drive website showed that it's a lot safer to eat while driving then trying to operate your cellphone. Another distraction is talking on the phone with people. Some people can't multitask and risk their life to call/text someone. Trying to use social media such as snapchat while driving is extremely dangerous and a distraction we should try to avoid.
