Our most vulnerable drivers are those that are inexperienced and drive with a false confidence that they are unbreakable i.e. teenagers!

One of the common distractions to a teenager is their mobile phone. In particular texting while driving. The teen looks away from the road to retrieve their phone, they then take their eyes from the road again to read the text, then both the eyes and one of their hands becomes focused on typing a reply text on their phone.

Not only are they distracted and not focused on where they are driving but they are also drving with one hand on the steering wheel and not looking closely enough to the surrounding area for possible hazards that may be occuring.

It is my belief that no teenager should be allowed to do any activity that requires their attention being taken from driving for any extended period of time, especially to use a mobile phone.

Hope that helps 🙂
