JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – Students at Arkansas State University
got a hands-on reality check Friday when it comes to the dangers of texting and
driving.
AT&T teamed up with the Department of Transportation and
the Federal Communications Commission to provide a computerized simulator used
in a real car. The simulator is designed
to provide a realistic experience of what can happen when you decided to text
and drive.
Amber Ray, an ASU sophomore, says the simulator was a big
wake up call. "I didn't realize it was that hard to text and drive." Ray said
after using the simulator. "I didn't hit anyone [during the simulation], but was all over the place
going over the lines and I almost hit a person.
It was really close."
Jonesboro Police Chief Mike Yates tried the simulator and
says he believes it is a good tool to teach the realities of texting and driving. "It's just not worth it." Yates
said, "If you have to send a text, pull over to the side of the road or stop
and do it."
Texting is the No. 1 mode of communication for teens—who text,
on average, 60 times a day. According to
the Allstate Foundation, one text takes your eyes off the road for an average
of five seconds. At 55 miles per hour,
that equals driving the length of a football field completely blind.
