Generation tXt's goal is to keep Oklahomans safe from the hazards of texting while driving.

• A texting driver is up to 23 times more likely to crash than a non-texting driver. (2009, VTTI)

• Texting while driving is dangerous because it takes your mind, eyes and hands off the task of driving.

• Cell phone use delays a driver's reaction time as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of intoxication.

• This form of distracted driving is especially problematic because so many people do it. At any given moment, greater than 800,000 vehicles are being driven by someone using a hand-held device.

Texting while driving accidents are 100% preventable.

• Thirty-nine states already have laws against texting while driving for all ages.

• State laws banning texting in conjunction with high visibility enforcement campaigns have been shown to be effective. (2010, NHTSA).
