Each week, a new study comes out that supports what we all know: Texting and driving is a very dangerous phenomenon. Here at my firm, we see the results of distracted driving firsthand. Back in February, I announced start of the Teens Against Distracted Driving (TADD) campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving. In exchange for signing a pledge to not text and drive, local high school students were given an orange bracelet with I PLDG 2 NT TXT N DRV on it. The bracelet was meant to serve as a reminder to never use cell phones while driving because getting distracted is the main reason for crashes. Haltom High School won by obtaining 89.3% of their student body to pledge not to text and drive.
We are proud to announce another version of our context, which will run during the month of October.. Similar to our last contest, the Student Council that obtains pledges from the highest percentage of their student body during October will be given a $500 donation from me to use at their discretion. The participating schools include: Haltom, North Side, Keller Central, South Hills, Colleyville Heritage, and Richland. While only one school will be declared an official winner, I believe everyone is a winner who participates—as any attention to this dangerous but growing phenomenon is worth the effort. It only takes a second of looking at your phone while driving to cause a potentially fatal wreck.
