text: The National Safety Council also known as the NSC shows that texting and driving leads to 1.6 million car wrecks per year. Even though people don't usually text and drive on purpose, when they do they sometimes become unlucky. Also in the united states every one out of four car accidents happen because of texting and driving. Therefore most of the united states car accidents happen because of this. This means the more people doing this the more wrecks it's going to be.
