Finding Paragraph #3

Throughout my research I have found that texting while driving is ideally worse than drinking while driving. I would get in the car, and it would be like I wasnt't even driving. (Madison Golson) Madison Golson got into a car accident where she was texting and swerved off the road, and then she jerked the car and clipped an oncoming car, flipped two-and-a-half times, and landed upside down in a ditch.  In 2008, almost 6,000 people were killed and half a million were injured in crashes related to driver distraction. A recent study shows that texting takes a driver's attention away from the road for about 4.6 seconds. At 55 miles per hour, that's enough time to travel the length of a football field. Experts say that texting while driving is worse than drinking while driving. "The hardest thing for me now is waking up every morning knowing I took two lives.""One stupid message changed my life and the lives of many other people." (Reggie Shaw) Reggie Shaw spent 30 days in jail and he had to complete 200 hours of community service. Today for the same crime Reggie would have to spend 15 years in jail. "Texting is a big distraction, it's like driving blindfolded."(Dr. Geoffrey Steinberg) Texting is especially dangerous for teens because they are new drivers. "It's hard for teens to resist checking for messages."(Dr. Geoffrey Steinberg) "I turn off my cell as soon as I get in my car. It hasn't changed my friendships at all. Any message is still going to be there whenever I get where I'm going."(Madison Golson) "No message is worth your life or someone else's life."(Reggie Shaw)
