Florida Junior Civitan Governor, Zachary Rivera and the Junior Civitan Team at Bishop Moore Catholic High School in Orlando leads the way..... all students have viewed this video Zachary did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aytrhm9ZB3k Pledges are rising with all students, parents and teachers fully aware of the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. Great work Zachary and Junior Civitans at Bishop Moore High!
The National Safety Council quotes from 50 studies about the dangers of cell phones, including hands free cell phone use while driving. www.NSC.org
The Highway Loss Data Institute studies show laws banning cell phone use are not working to reduce crashes and deaths; www.iihs.org So what works? Social Pressure is the only option.
What's the Truth?
A person who is talking on the phone while driving is FOUR TIMES more likely to get in a car accident than someone who has 100% focus on the road. THAT'S THE SAME AS DRIVING DRUNK !
Someone who is texting while driving is EIGHT TIMES more likely to get in a car accident.
IS THAT CALL OR TEXT WORTH SOMEONE'S LIFE?
The TRUTH is, no one has the right to willfully take everyone elses life into their hands.
