Question 5974
Is it dangerous to send a text message on your cell phone while driving?
- No, because the driver will pay more attention to driving.
- Yes, because it can distract the driver.
- No, if you are driving slowly.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because it can distract the driver.
Yes. To type a message, you take your eyes off the road and one hand off the wheel, and your mind is on what you are writing, like the driver in the picture, who is looking at her cell phone. This greatly increases the risk of a crash, and driving slowly does not prevent it.
