What if your texting your friend to say you can see them texting in thier car, and they shouldn't do it? Would that increse your odds 46 times? Resulting in you crashing into your friend? I've been driving for about 5 or 6 years now. I've been in 2 accidents. If I've done my math right that makes my odds of getting into an accident .36% at all times. If I text it shoots to 8.28%. Geez. That's huge.
