         [1]Sending text messages from your mobile phone while driving is more dangerous than driving after
    drinking, which is found by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
          [2]The reaction time of people who sent text messages as they drove slowed by 35%, while the reaction
    time of those who had drunk alcohol slowed by 12%."This research shows how dangerous it is to text while
    driving," researcher Nick Reed said in a statement. He said drivers who texted were distracted by trying to read
    small texts on the phone and by thinking about how to write their messages. And using the phone requires them
    to put their hands off the wheel. The combination of factors caused the slowness of reaction and the impairment (减弱) of vehicle control.
         [3]One conclusion researchers made about why texting while driving is so dangerous is the length of time it
    takes to write a message. The TRL said that writing a text message behind the wheel took 63 seconds, in which a car travels nearly a mile within town centre speed limits and over a mile within motorway speed limits.
         [4]Nearly half of the 18-to 24-year-olds admitted texting as they drove, another survey discovered.
