-  82% of teens use a cell phone while driving.  49% of those admitted to
   texting while driving.

-  Drivers using handheld devices are 4 times as likely to get involved in a
   crash serious enough to injure themselves.
 
-  Using a cell phone while driving delays your driving reactions as much
   as having a blood alcohol level at .08 the legal limit (Illinois.)
