The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently released a new video aimed at bringing attention to the dangers of texting while driving.
The new video portrays a group of three teens traveling in a vehicle in which the driver hears a beep and looks down to check her text messages. Â While checking her messages the driver takes her eyes off the road for a split second and misses a stop sign. Â The result is a t-bone collision in which a truck crashes into the passenger side of the vehicle causing it to roll of the road.
The governments message is as clear as the video is chilling. Â DO NOT TEXT WHILE DRIVING! Â Please share this video with those around you. Â Texting while driving crashes are happening far too often on Utah’s roadways. Â Together we can all make the roads safer if we put our phones down and keep our eyes on the road.
