text: Texting and driving is not only risky but can put the driver and other drivers on the road lives on the line. Just because a driver can get away with texting and driving once doesn't mean it won't catch up to them one day. Based on a real event a teen killed a father and his 10 year old daughter after she "ran a red light because she was allegedly texting" (teensafe. com). The teen was sentenced to 4 year probation and had to do community service. Not only could the driver take one's life and be scarred but could also do damage to their family members. That is why there are clubs and teen meets that talk about the danger of texting and driving and most of the teachers have experience the horror themselves or had lost a loved one due to an event like the mother of a teen in washington who "Died after she was allegedly distracted by an incoming text while driving" (teensafe. com) the mother "now helps teens understand the dangers and uses a video that recreates her daughters crash to illustrate the horror"
