Driving + Texting = CRASH
Everyone keeps talking about the dangers of texting and driving. Everyone also knows that people continue to do it and put themselves and others at risk. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then this "health positive" ad done by some of my Health students should make it clear. They made this using a Flip Camera and Movie Maker software. They had some help from a PA State trooper friend. Looks authentic doesn't it?

I think this effort by these young drivers will help other drivers get the message. It has to start with the end user, the driver...deciding not to partake in distracted driving and this will help drive that message home.
ReplyDeleteI also decided to do something about teen (and adult) distracted driving after my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver. Instead of a shackle that locks down phones and alienates the user (especially teens) I built a tool for teens and their parents called OTTER that is a simple, GPS based, texting auto reply app for smartphones. It also silences call ringtones while driving unless you have a bluetooth enabled. I think if we can empower the individual then change will come to our highways now and not just our laws.

This is a great app. I have heard about this app before. I have an Android phone. Is it available for Android yet?
