One in five pedestrians becomes a victim of a car crash due to texting!
Every year about 270,000 pedestrians are killed around the world because of daydreaming and distraction while texting. The pedestrians who do not look left-to-right when crossing a road, are a major risk factor. Writing and texting is the most dangerous thing to get a pedestrian's attention, endangering their safety, especially when crossing a road, according to a new Canadian scientific study. The study shows that listening to music from headphones does not increase the risk of a pedestrian accident. The same goes for a phone conversation, while texting is clearly the most dangerous behavior.
Do you text while walking on the street?

  Texting? Is this some new fungal device? I’m still using voice activated email.

  I'm sure the 2 or 3 texts a month that I send can be done whilst I'm at home !

  You cannot blame anybody but yourself, if you fall in a pot hole or trip on an uneven pavement if texting on your phone, and not keeping your eyes open !
