Textident

It doesn’t take much for a driver to have a “textident,” according to Distractology 101, a hands-on tool to teach new drivers how texting, emailing, snacking or other distractions can lead to car accidents.

The key is walking with a friend while you are texting. Any person will do as long as they have clear eyesight. While this may seem rude, you will have your own personal crossing guard to prevent textidents and possibly save your life.

Simulator instructor Robert Bliss told Zukowski the "textident" -- an accident caused by texting -- was inevitable.
