How can the community help?
In order to prevent texting and driving, the community can take action through various methods. Human ingenuity and technology innovations provide the world with ways to help solve these kind of issues. For example, people can:
- download an app on smartphones, where it prohibits texting and sends a message to whoever sends a text and replies that the driver is driving,
- put a video camera in the teens car, which will videotape what the driver does and if there are any distractions,
- take the pledge that states that one will not text and drive, which will establish good role-model behavior,
- and create blogs and websites about the awareness of texting and driving.
Parents or guardians, especially, should set good examples for teens and children by putting phones away while operating a vehicle. Also, if someone does text and drive, to prevent the action from repeating, consequences need to be established. Some consequences could be taking their phone away, taking their car away, or grounding them so that they learn their lesson.
Texting and driving can be prevented. Little steps like taking the pledge go a long way to help save lives and to create a safe community.
