Texting and driving statistics are becoming more readily available, which is important considering the number of car accidents, car wreck injuries and fatalities that happen as a result of texting and driving.
Cell phone technology is increasing at such a rate that the number of new cell phone users also grows by the thousands every year. With this new technology comes a lot of risks that we are now faced with, the following statistics are not pretty, they are actually quite scary.
Statistics show that a person texting and driving is actually more likely to be the cause of an auto accident than a person who is legally drunk.

More and more we see people sharing the need and excitement to be constantly tuned in to popular social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter to monitor and share what is going on in their lives and the lives of friends and family.
