Texting while driving is a dangerous practice, and Alabama lawmakers are taking note. Some cities in Alabama have outlawed texting while driving, including Birmingham, Huntsville, Vestavia Hills and Jacksonville.
A recent study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute shows the following data:
For cars and other light vehicles:
| Cell Phone Task | Risk of Crash or Near-Crash Event |
| Dialing cell phone | 2.8 times as high as non-distracted driving |
| Talking on cell phone | 1.3 times as high as non-distracted driving |
| Reaching for object (cell phone or other) | 1.4 times as high as non-distracted driving |
For Trucks and other heavy vehicles:
| Cell Phone Task | Risk of Crash or Near Crash Event |
| Dialing cell phone | 5.9 times as high as non-distracted driving |
