Have you ever caught yourself texting a
friend or reading a text while driving your VW cars? If so, you may be required to change that habit soon.
More and more people and organizations are favoring laws that would reduce or eliminate driving texting while behind the wheel of their car. According to a survey conducted by Nationwide Insurance, nearly 80 percent of adults in the United States are in favor of this type of ban. One surprising part of the survey is that many of the drivers in favor of the texting ban are younger drivers, which is the largest demographic that admits to texting while driving.
The survey also found that drivers in the Northeast and the West are more supportive of texting bans while Midwestern and Southern respondents were less agreeable. Bill Windsor, an official with Nationwide Insurance, said part of this disparity could be the difference in traffic congestion between the regions, but it is still a large difference.
Regardless of any texting bans, some drivers said they would still use their phones while driving.
Don’t wait for the laws to go into effect before you stop texting when driving your VW cars. Keep your eyes on the road and your attention on what you are doing in order to stay safe. You will have plenty of time to text when you reach your destination.
