States' Attorney General Launch New Campaign Against Texting & Driving

Attorney Generals' offices from 43 of 50 states and Guam have partnered with the Ad Council and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to launch a new ad campaign and website to aimed at the prevention of texting and driving. The website, www.stoptestsstopwrecks.org, targets young adult drivers and aims to show them the consequences of this seemingly benign behavior. The campaign features Public Service Advertising (PSAs) in TV, radio, outdoor and web, as well as integrated digital and social media platforms. All advertising drives consumers to StopTextsStopsWrecks.org where consumers can find tips and tactics for how to curb this behavior.

You can click here to view the public service announcement.  The website also lists 30 different statistics about the dangers of texting and driving.

This is another collaborative effort from different government agencies working together to help promote the dangers of texting and driving. As I have said before, it seems the public has been somewhat slow grasping the dangers of texting and driving, which is similar to the lackluster reaction people had toward the seat belt laws enacted in the 1960s.  Hopefully campaigns like these continue to spread the word about the dangers of cell phone use while texting and driving.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a Chicago car accident or Chicago truck accident, then call Chicago personal injury attorney, Aaron Bryant, for a free consultation at 312-588-3384 or to the firm website at www.blgchicago.com.
