I can’t believe why people are snapchatting and driving at the same time. This is insane and absolutely dangerous For those who don’t know Snapchat offers users a way to send a photo that disappears in 10 seconds or less.
Snapchat recently added a filter that allows users to share how fast they are going. You can guess what happens next!
We are certain the original intention was for Snapchat users to run, bike or ride on a golf cart showing how fast they were going in a video. Unfortunately, what has happened is Snapchat users are doing this while driving.
We have done plenty of research and we have yet to find a court case in which Snapchat was determined as the cause of the car accident.
That said, it does not mean car accidents have not happened because of Snapchat.
It will take several years for legislation to catch up with this technology but we are positive it will in the future much like it has done with texting and driving.
But for now take some simple advice don’t snapchat and drive!
