Texting and Driving

Between 2015 and 2019 there were more than 25,000 distracted driving crashes in Idaho in which 237 people were killed.

Texting and driving, even talking on the phone without blue tooth or another hands-free device is illegal as of July 1st.

Probably about time... Just yesterday I was on the freeway coming out of downtown and this car starts leaning into my lane. I beeped at her and she corrected, and then immediately started drifting again cause it was super important to get back to whatever she was doing on her phone.

I've had to go through the stress of a teen learning to drive numerous times over the years. It never gets any easier no matter how many times you go through it, you still worry about their safety.  It's worse now than when we were kids because of cell phones. There is a drivers training company that requires all their drivers to be able to text and drive before they pass their test.

Driving and texting is now one of the leading causes of auto accidents.  We all know it's dangerous but how do you get that point across?  A major car company recently did a pretty amazing job of doing just that.
