Good Luck.
Reading or writing text messages while you are walking is dangerous. A new study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. The study is the University Buffalo in the USA. Researchers found that there are more injuries kilometer to texting pedestrians than there are to texting motorists. Their report says walking is not as easy as we think it is. We need to focus many things the same time to walk safely a straight line. The research team said that people forget how to walk properly, so dangerous things happen them. They bump walls and other people, walk cars, fall things in the street, and even fall into holes or stairs.

A University Buffalo professor said walking is a complex action. He said there are several reasons why texting stops people walking properly. One reason is that they cannot see the path ahead them. Another is that they are focused their fingers on their mobile phone keyboard instead their feet on the street. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else and not thinking walking from A B safely. The professor said 6,000 people visited his hospital last year because they were injured while texting. He said the worst cases are head injuries. When a pedestrian is tossed the air after being hit a car, he/she has nothing to protect the head, and the damage can be serious.
