Narrative News Pre-writing

I am looking up facts and figures about the dangers of texting while driving. Although it is not really known if my friend Ruffin was texting at the time of his death, we are all pretty sure that he wasn't really paying attention to the road at the time. He could have been looking at his phone or even changing the radio station but I am just going to use his story as an example that it is so terribly easy to loose track of the road by taking your eyes off for a split second. I am mostly going to stick to the dangers of texting while driving because it is a growing concern in the United States today. I have found some facts that driving while texting, DWT, should be treated almost in the same way as a DUI.
