There are a number of great videos on the dangers of texting while driving available through the SafetySync online safety management system.  Some are informative (Utah State Police), while some are graphic (Gwent Police), but there is a new one that we link to on the AT&T YouTube channel that interviews the friends and family of people that either sent or received text messages from a person immediately before they were killed in their vehicle as a result of having been distracted by looking at or typing the text.

Most of the texts are only only one, two, or three words, illustrating that in only a short moment, distracting a driver can be fatal.

These videos are becoming more and more common, and the reason is that people simply do not recognize the danger of texting while driving.  Turn one of these lessons versions on for your employees and make sure they understand!  It could save their life.
