What is something that adults always complain that teenagers do but are likely to do it themselves too? Advertisements are filling up the radios stations and television commercials telling us the dangers of texting and driving aimed towards teens aged 16-19 but who should really be listening to them?

Teens aren’t the only ones texting and driving. Even if the percentage of teens are texting and driving are higher than adults, 15% of young adults have seen their own parents texting and driving and 27% of adults have sent or received text messages themselves according to textinganddrivingsafety.com.

Overall, 87% of respondents agreed that it is dangerous to text or check your phone while driving. Although, 18% said they can’t “resist the urge” to use their phones behind the wheel, according to the survey by the University of Southern California Anneberg Center for the Digital Future and Bovits Inc.

The majority of Americans agree that texting and driving is dangerous. In a culture with more screen time than face time, keeping phones out of sight in the car is easier said than done.

While teens are pushed by adults to “resist the urge,”  wouldn’t you think that adults would take a piece of their own words and stop texting while they are driving? Texting and driving kills but will we stop?
