How far will your vehicle travel while you reach down to view a text or answer a phone call?

Most of us use our cell phones while we drive. Whether we realize it or not that one, two or even three seconds we look at the phone to answer or make a call - or read a text can be extremely dangerous. How far will your vehicle travel during that one, two or three seconds (or more) that you look away from the road?

At 35 miles per hour your vehicle travels 51 feet per second...
once you include braking deceleration/perception reaction time your vehicle will travel 136 feet before you are likely able to stop.

At 55 miles per hour your vehicle travels 80 feet per second...
once you include braking deceleration/perception reaction time your vehicle will travel 265 feet before you are likely able to stop.

At 70 miles per hour your vehicle travels 102 feet per second...once you include braking deceleration/perception reaction time your vehicle will travel 388 feet before you are likely able to stop.

Given the distance your vehicle will travel, we owe it to each other to do everything possible to minimize distractions while driving and PLEASE don't text and drive.
