    The document discusses whether texting while driving should be illegal in all states. It notes that texting while driving at 55 mph is like driving a football field without looking at the road, and that those who text are 6 times more likely to crash than drunk drivers. Studies show nearly 330,000 injuries each year are from texting while driving crashes, and laws banning all texting have led to a 3% reduction in traffic fatalities across all age groups. The conclusion is that texting while driving is clearly unsafe, affects both drivers and others on the road, and that criminalizing it could make a meaningful difference in safety.
