Cell phone technology is increasing at such a rate that the number of new cell phone users also grows by the thousands every year. With this new technology comes a lot of risks that we are now faced with, the following statistics are not pretty, they are actually quite scary.

Statistics show that a person texting and driving is actually more likely to be the cause of an auto accident than a person who is legally drunk. This is a shocking realization considering we all know the crippling effects of alcohol when in comes to operating a vehicle or any other task demanding physical and mental ability.

More and more we see people sharing the need and excitement to be constantly tuned in to popular social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter to monitor and share what is going on in their lives and the lives of friends and family. The social networking web sites are not the only source of attention in these matters. The feeling or need for constant communication with family or friends, boyfriends and girlfriends or spouses by means of cell phone calls or texting is also to be considered.

Here are some statistics to keep in mind the next time you are behind the wheel and you think of texting:

• When a driver is busy on his phone while he is driving, the time he takes to react when the need arises is increased by a whopping 35%.
• When busy constructing a text, the steering capability of the driver is lessened by a staggering 91%, because he is not focused on the road properly.
• Some reports show that texting can increase the chance of being involved in an auto accident by at 23% at the very least.

If that does not scare you, we don’t know what will. Imagine losing a family member to an accident because the other driver just could not wait to stop at a red light or pull in a parking lot to send a text message or update their social network account safely. Think of the lives already lost because of this lack of care.

With more cars on the road in the summer season, car accidents are on the rise. More cars means more car accidents, pedestrian accidents, hit and runs and of course more drunk driving incidents. Motor vehicle accidents are the main cause for visits to the Emergency Room statistically.

Personal injury and accidents occurring around recreational activity are also very high this time of year. The summer season brings out the boaters and lake crowds increasing the number of people not only on the water, but traveling to and from the lake. Drives home from the water activities often involve drinking and driving and this is the cause for many motor vehicle accidents and DUI offenses.

Other summer related recreational activity can include ATV operation or off-road vehicles, parks and playgrounds and sporting activities at home. Children are especially at risk of personal injury as summer brings a time of joy, travel and high energy.

5 habits to decrease your chances of risk to personal injury or jail time:

1. Don’t drink and drive!
   The risks you take while driving intoxicated can provide devastating results. Jail, loss of employment, medical bills, causing others harm, injury or death are realities. Don’t be a statistic.
2. All actions are accountable.
   Regardless of blood alcohol level, knowledge of the law or misadventure remember, no day or night of fun is worth your or other’s futures.
3. Safety when possible or applicable.
   Always wear your seat-belts and practice increased awareness of others when driving, boating or in the presence of others that are depending on your guardianship.
4. Friends favor a friend’s favors.
   A tongue twister for sure but none the less true. If you see someone engaging in behavior or activities that could endanger them or others, take action. Talk to the person or in hazardous situations, call the Police.
5. Make sure your children know the risks.
   Talk with your children about the increased risks and dangers involved with summer activities in parks, playgrounds or while riding their bikes in high traffic areas.
