Do people text and drive because of emergencies?
No, people do not usually text and drive because of emergencies. Texting and driving is a distracted driving behavior that is dangerous and illegal in many jurisdictions. While there may be rare instances when someone might need to send a quick text message while driving to address an urgent situation, this should be avoided whenever possible. The risks of texting and driving outweigh any potential benefits, and there are many safer alternatives available, such as using hands-free calling or pulling over to the side of the road to send a message.
