School Zone cell phone use can kill an innocence child. A school Zone is a NO PHONE ZONE. Put it down it’s the LAW!.
THE Sunday Telegraph has busted dozens of motorists since its blitz on text-driving a fortnight ago, in the last week snapping what appeared to be parents taking advantage of school holiday traffic to punch out an SMS.
The message is no driver should feel safe to break road rules with our photographers, not to mention the police, out in force on roads. For more pics of distracted drivers check out www.textface.com as they bust distracted drivers and then post them on the world wide web.
NRMA members nominated texting while driving the main safety issue on the road above drink-driving and speeding in an October survey.
Seven out of 10 people believe that a more visible police presence on the roads is needed.
US telco AT&T has launched a campaign called It Can Wait, asking people to pledge not to text while driving on their website and featuring undertakings from celebrities like singer Demi Lovato to do the same.
The site also features a driving simulator which allows users to experience first-hand the dangers of texting behind the wheel.
The company also has a DriveMode app which sends an auto-reply to incoming texts when the car is travelling at 40kmh or faster, letting contacts know the user will reply when it is safe.
More than 200 organisations have joined the telco’s campaign, supporting a national advertising campaign featuring the consequences of text-driving.
The first story to be told will be that of Xzavier Davis-Bilbo, who was five when he was struck while crossing the street by a young woman texting while driving in 2010 and left paralysed from the waist down.
