An environment report on a study conducted in 2009 on drivers of larger vehicles and trucks says that texting was 23 times more risky to cause an accident compared with non-distracted driving. Environmental researcher Uvid Hosansky wrote: "Texting drivers took their eyes off the road for each text an average of 4.6 seconds, which at 55 mph means they were driving the length of a football field without looking."
