AT&T: Don't Text While Driving Documentary 

This video is a sobering reminder how any distraction can impair our driving ability. Add to that the fact that texting is an ever growing way-of-life for many of our youngest, and least experienced drivers. Drivers with whom we share the road.

This video has been available on YouTube and other social media pages for awhile. If you haven't seen it yet. Please take a few minutes and share with the one's you love.

Texting while driving increases the odds of an accident by 23 Times. This video was produced in March, 2010 by AT&T.

PREVENTION IS KEY:

While buying the right auto liability insurance is extremely important, it only cleans up the pieces after the accident. The event becomes even more tragic when it was preventable. The video highlights how victims are left on both sides of the accident.
