Queensland motorists don’t believe texting while driving is dangerous according to new studies by the Centre of Accident Research and Road Safety Queensland (CARRS-Q).

Drivers who text are six times more likely to be involved in a crash and those on a phone call are twice as likely to be have an accident.

Drivers are more concerned with ‘the fear of missing out’ than the fear of dying according to Road Safety experts.

CARRS-Q is pushing for the government to introduce new laws that see drivers lose their licence if they are caught using a mobile phone.
