Text Generation: Keeping Your Eyes On The Road

In our fast paced society, our cellphones have become such an important tool for keeping up with contacts while on the go. Whether communicating a change in plans, getting in touch with work or our kids, or during the course of running errands, our cell phones help to keep us moving along without missing a beat.

Unfortunately, for too many people, using a phones on the go means using it while in the car. More and more of us are talking, or even worse, texting while driving, leading to an increase in dangerous highway accidents.

According to American Automobile Association (AAA) research, 1 in 5 drivers in the U.S. admitted to texting while driving at least once in the prior 30 days. Using a phone while driving creates a dangerous distraction to the driver, putting themselves, their passengers, and everyone else on the road around them at risk of accident.

Starting October 5, the AAA calls on motorists to drive distraction free for one week; kicking off their “Heads Up Driving Week” in order to promote safe driving habits to motorists all over the country.

Any distractions during driving are extremely dangerous. It’s important that adults set a good example for the young drivers in their family so they can establish good habits early on.
