With the release of the newest version of Driver Ed in a Box®, Driver Ed in a Box® has expanded its content on the dangers of texting and driving.
Oprah Winfrey, the Jonas Brothers and Allstate are just some of the celebrities and corporations who have joined the fight against the dangerous and often deadly practice of texting while driving.
Yes, the current versions of Drive Ed in a Box® (http://www.DriverEdinaBox.com), the driver education course that guarantees that their graduates will drive their first year collision-free, already contain an extensive Parent-Teen contract and processes for eliminating distracted driving. The newest version, set for release October 1, 2010 has expanded its content on the dangers of texting while driving.
Research has indicated that texting while driving is the equivalent of drinking and driving. That is, it’s the same as having four drinks and then getting behind the wheel of a car.
Patrick Barrett, the top expert on collision-free driving and author of Driver Ed in a Box®, says “We are very fortunate to have people like Oprah Winfrey and the Jonas Brothers take an active role in supporting this issue. They are in a position of influence and we need all the help we can get to encourage people to alter their behavior.”
Oprah Winfrey has championed this cause with her “No Phone Zone” Pledge.
Mr. Barrett also stated “Most driving is done at the other-than-conscious level and, because of that, drivers feel secure enough to take their eyes off the road as they direct their conscious mind to text. That creates a situation ripe for a collision.”
