The bad habit based on Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) is typing text message while they driving. Studies show that the collision risk for drivers who text messages while driving goes up 23 times over those who do not do so as text messaging takes the eyes off the road for too many seconds. For collisions in 2007, out-of-control driving contributed to 23% (1,318 out of 5,672 cases) of fatal accidents and 14% of overall accidents (3,674 out of 27,035 cases).
For Malaysians, don’t text messages and make a call while driving, otherwise you will get summons of RM300.
