Texting Drivers Cause Deadly Accidents
When texting, not watching the road ahead, the dangers of causing a car accident are greatly increased. Statistics and reports have clearly shown that texting while driving is a common cause of very serious accidents, and many serious or fatal injuries. A close second to drunk driving accidents, texting while driving accidents are reported to be one of the most dangerous types of vehicle-related accidents.
Some of the most common injuries seen in texting while driving accidents include:
- Cuts and bruises
- Broken bones
- Burn injuries
- Head and neck injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Wrongful death
West Virginia's Texting & Driving Laws
Due to the dangers associated with texting while driving, the state of West Virginia has laws in place which ban texting the use of handheld devices for all drivers. West Virginia began taking action to discourage drivers from engaging in distracted behavior while operating a motor vehicle in 2012. The state now prohibits:
- Texting
- Using a handheld device to talk text or email unless in non-emergency situations
- Drivers with a learner’s permit or intermediate license from using a handheld or hands-free cellphone
- Bus drivers from texting or using a handheld device
Novice drivers are banned from any cell phone use while driving, regardless of whether it is on a handheld or hands-free device.
