Texting while driving has become an epidemic in the Carolinas and the Carolina Motor Club Foundation for Traffic Safety aims to educate the public about the dangers associated with this reckless behavior.
"Texting while driving, is the new drunk driving," said Tom Crosby, President of the CMC Foundation for Traffic Safety. "Studies have shown that you are just as likely to be in an accident texting while driving as someone who is legally intoxicated."
This behavior is incredibly prevalent and its frequency is growing. Please share this video with everyone that shares our roadways.
Beginning December 1, 2009 it is against the law to text or email while operating a motor vehicle in North Carolina. Violators will receive a $100 fine and are responsible for court costs. |
