It can wait: One teen's attempt to end texting while driving

After two car accidents killed seven youth in Long Beach last Memorial Day, a young, local actress created the PSA video "Almost There," to personalize the dangers of texting while driving among teens.  Healthcare providers say that texting while driving by high school students is leading to a rise in car crashes.  “I had seen all the commercials on TV that talked about the dangers of texting while driving, but until those accidents happened I never really thought about how it could happen to anybody.  I thought about how guilty I would have felt if I had been texting in the car with my friends and any of them died.”  The story and an accompanying interview with the director of the PSA are on Voicewaves.[youtube=http://youtu.be/WR9n-AJOJ88]
