“In 2014, 3,179 people were killed and 431,000 were injured due to car accidents involving distracted drivers and the number is rising every year. Drunk driving claimed 9,967 lives in 2014 and was responsible for only 290,000 injuries, a number that decreases each year.”

Not only is it assuming "distracted drivers" are only texting. The raw number of deaths was a third of that of drunk drivers. And that doesn't even normalize it!

Texting and driving is and should be illegal. It isn't as bad as driving drunk. Articles like this are ridiculous.
