Don't be texting and driving...
6 ways the cops know you're texting
Forty-four states ban all drivers from texting behind the wheel, but that doesn't seem to stop many of us.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that at any given daytime moment, over 600,000 drivers are using cell phones or other electronic devices while they are driving. In 2012, over 421,000 drivers were injured due to distracted driving, and 3,328 people were killed, the agency says.
Texting is among the most dangerous forms of distracted driving, tripling the risk of a crash, but it is often difficult to detect.
