Car Accidents Despite Texting Bans
Car accidents are still on the rise despite bans on texting and driving. The CBC reported, Texting-and-driving bans don't work: study.
Younger people continue to be the biggest culprits who continue to text while driving. The CBC reported, Students go texting and karting.

It is clear, texting while driving can lead to serious car accidents.
If you are caught texting while driving you will face a penalty.
However, if you text and drive and cause an accident the consequences could be considerably more serious. For example, if you drink and drive and cause an accident your insurance and any personal injury claims against you will be jeopardized to the point where the insurance company might not pay anything. As a result, you will be left with having to deal with the lawsuits. The insurance company takes this position because drinking and driving is illegal therefore, your insurance contract i.e., policy is in breach.
If you text and drive, which is also illegal there is no telling what an insurance company could do.
Therefore, the message is clear, don`t text and drive.
