[] This is from an article by Matt Richtel: "The results of the Virginia Tech study are buttressed by new laboratory research from the [|University of Utah]. In a study over the last 18 months, college students using a sophisticated driving simulator showed an eight times greater crash risk when texting than when not texting. That study, which is undergoing peer review and has been submitted for publication in The Journal for Human Factors, also found that drivers took their eyes off the road for around five seconds when texting."
 * SAMPLE**

Here's what I'd write in my paper: Texting while driving is dangerous. In a recent study done at the University of Utah, students using a driving simulator had a crash risk that was eight times greater when they were texting compared to when not texting (Richtel). Texting while driving leads to distraction which contributes to accidents.
