EDITORIAL: We are pleased that the Alabama legislature
has finally passed a no texting while driving law.
I was reminded last week how dangerous that
can be. I was on I-85 coming home from Atlanta during crowded rush hour when
the SUV in front of me started drifting from lane to lane and speeding up and
slowing down. Traffic was heavy but everyone managed to get out of the way
without an accident. This lasted for a good five-minutes and when I was able to
finally see the driver. She was holding a phone with both hands typing while
she steered the vehicle with her forearms.
A recent national study found that while
driving and texting, drivers failed to detect hazards, responded to hazards
more slowly, and were exposed to risk for longer periods. They were less able
to keep a constant distance behind lead vehicle, had large increases in
variability of lane position, and many more lane departures. I witnessed all of
these symptoms on that day and was amazed that no one was injured.
Please keep your phone in your purse or
pocket while driving.
