text: It's not just teen drivers at risk when they're using their phone while driving, adults are at a high risk too. In fact adults are put at a higher risk because studies have shown adults are more likely to use their phone and drive due to them thinking that since they have more experience behind the wheel. Adults are equally responsible behind the wheel just as much as a teen is when it comes to using a phone. In 2012 over 3000 people died in car accidents with someone in either car being a distracted driver. If anything adult drivers should be held more to a higher standard simply because they are older and have to lead by example for up and coming drivers who learn how to drive by watching whatever adult drives them around. Let only it may be more dangerous to an adult driver because 9 times out of 10 they are driving with a passenger or even worse a someone's child or a child of their own. When driving adults should be more careful while being on the phone and driving because they never know who's watching them.
