(DVD) 2010, HRM, 26 minutes, Grades 7-College
This DVD stresses the dangers of distractions while driving: putting on makeup, eating, changing radio channels, but most important, talking or texting on a cell phone while driving. Viewers hear stories from several people whose lives have been changed dramatically due to distracted driving. One story comes from a young man who crashed his car while texting, and now must live with the fact that he caused the death of two innocent people. Another story comes from a young woman who discussed the injuries she endured, as well as her parents’ deaths because of a teen talking on his cell phone while driving. The program’s unforgettable stories and statistics make it clear that no call while driving is worth losing a life over.
