“A lot of people are being killed because of texting [while driving]”
-Rep. Tom Craddick
35% of Americans admit to texting while driving…
-Johnston MooreThat is 108,912,350
people who text while driving in the United States.
Cell Phone use contributes to an
estimated 6% of all crashes, which equates
to…
636,000 crashes
12,000 serious injuries
330,000 injuries
2,600 deaths
…each year
- Harvard Center of Risk Analysis
16 people die each day due to phone
contributing accidents.
-Dr. David Strayer
These staggering numbers of deaths and
injuries call for us to take action.
U.S. Congress and the State of Texas are taking a bold
role in saving lives.
On April 11th, 2011, the House passed a bill that
banned Texans from texting and driving.
-Austin Bureau
The law has been established
The law has been established
However, the solution to texting while driving is more than the law…
It is going to take responsibility,
accountability and the will to do what is best
to minimize the dangers of texting
while driving.
Don’t wait for this to happen to you or to a loved one before
you make a change.
The Auto-Reply feature will help
change the texting habits that lead to dangerous driving.
The developed app provides an intuitive Auto-Reply for the user,
which will allow the sender to know the user is unable to
respond until they are finished driving.
This is a small solution that has the potential
of saving a large number of lives…
…possibly yours.
