What’s the Answer to Teen Texting and Driving Dilemma?
Hey there! So, let’s chat about that tricky issue of teens texting while driving. You know, Michelin Tires has this cool safety program for young drivers that really drives home (no pun intended) just how risky it is to text behind the wheel. They have these teens go through an obstacle course—first without their phones, and they navigate it like pros, dodging cones and little trees like it’s no big deal. But then, the instructor throws them a curveball: they have to text their moms while maneuvering through the course. And guess what? Chaos ensues! They end up crashing into everything in sight—cones flying everywhere.
But if that doesn’t do the trick, parents can turn to tech for help. There are apps out there that automatically block incoming texts and calls when the car is moving, and even prevent the driver from sending messages. If your teen tries to disable the app, you’ll get an email alerting you. Sounds like a solid plan, right? But here’s the kicker: around 10% of parents admit to having long, multi-message text chats while driving. So what’s the fix for those parents who can’t seem to put their phones down?
