“A lot of people are being killed because of texting [while driving]”

-Rep. Tom Craddick

35% of Americans admit to texting while driving…

-Johnston MooreThat is 108,912,350

people who text while driving in the United States.

Cell Phone use contributes to an

estimated 6% of all crashes, which equates

to…

636,000 crashes

12,000 serious injuries

330,000 injuries

2,600 deaths

…each year

- Harvard Center of Risk Analysis

16 people die each day due to phone

contributing accidents.

-Dr. David Strayer

These staggering numbers of deaths and

injuries call for us to take action.

U.S. Congress and the State of Texas are taking a bold

role in saving lives.

On April 11th, 2011, the House passed a bill that

banned Texans from texting and driving.

-Austin Bureau

The law has been established

The law has been established

However, the solution to texting while driving is more than the law…

It is going to take responsibility,

accountability and the will to do what is best

to minimize the dangers of texting

while driving.

Don’t wait for this to happen to you or to a loved one before

you make a change.

The Auto-Reply feature will help

change the texting habits that lead to dangerous driving.

The developed app provides an intuitive Auto-Reply for the user,

which will allow the sender to know the user is unable to

respond until they are finished driving.

This is a small solution that has the potential

of saving a large number of lives…

…possibly yours.
