Los Alamitos High School recently received a visit from an organization called Text Kills, which brought a bus, and some exercises designed to help students understand just how dangerous distracted driving can be.
The emphasis is on texting while driving. Students had a chance to try and navigate computer games and remote control cars while being asked to read simulated text messages or having their vision temporarily blocked.
The bus is a part of Text Kills, a trademarked organization that has gained national attention for its efforts to engage and educate young drivers. The bus was making a southern California tour, as part of National Teen Driver Safety Week, in October. Students who took a pledge to not text while driving, as well as not text someone they knew was driving, were allowed to sign the outside of the bus.
