According to Car and Driver Magazine, the answer is yes. The editors at Car and Driver magazine conducted an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/features\/a16580948\/texting-while-driving-how-dangerous-is-it\/\">exhaustive study<\/a> comparing the effects of texting while driving to drunkenness while driving, ultimately concluding that the reaction time of a texting driver is significantly slower than the reaction time of that same driver, while drunk.<\/p>\n<p>Still, even if you don\u2019t believe that texting could be a more dangerous in-car activity than inebriation, there is ample evidence that it is an extremely unsafe practice.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/fos\/no-texting-while-driving-sign\/sku-k-9085.aspx\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"LawnBoss\u2122 No Texting and Driving Sign \" src=\"https:\/\/images.myparkingsign.com\/img\/md\/K\/No-Texting-Driving-Sign-K-9085.gif\" alt=\"LawnBoss\u2122 No Texting and Driving Sign \" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">A LawnBoss\u2122 No Texting and Driving Sign is very visible to all drivers in a school parking lot.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtti.vt.edu\/\">Virginia Tech Institute of Transportation<\/a> reports that the crash risk of texting while driving is 23 times greater than the accident risks of undistracted driving, and according to\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/\">National Highway and Traffic Association (NHTSA)<\/a>, over 5,000 \u201cpeople were killed in car crashes involving driver distraction\u201d in 2009 alone. Not surprisingly, this is an especially big issue for teenaged drivers; according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/risky-driving\/distracted-driving\">, teens are more likely to be involved in distraction-caused car crashes than any other age group, and 40% of all American teens say they have been in a car with a driver whose cell-phone usage endangered its occupants.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, texting and driving has become a serious threat to public safety, especially amongst the latest text-messaging generation of student drivers. This is why MyParkingSign.com has launched their<br \/>\n\u201cNo Texting While Driving\u201d sign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/school-parking-signs\">giveaway campaign<\/a>: to make the roads safer for teenagers and everyone who shares the road with them, and to lend a helping hand to schools whose budgets are already overstretched. MyParkingSign.com is offering two free aluminum signs, two free label packs, or one of each \u2014 all of which can be customized with school colors, mascots, and more \u2014 to administrators and educators. Undoubtedly, this will help schools take a big step in cutting down on texting-induced car accidents.<\/p>\n<p>MyParkingSign has quite a selection of signs aimed at deterring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/mps\/search\/drinking_driving\">drunk driving<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/mps\/search\/texting_and_driving\">texting while driving<\/a> at its website.
