POLAND — Officials from AT&T recently met with teens at Poland Regional High School to educate them about the dangers of texting while driving.
“Texting and driving is among the most dangerous forms of distracted driving,” said Owen Smith, AT&T’s regional vice president for Maine. “We are proud to be bringing this important message to teens that ‘It can wait’ when it comes to texting while driving.”
Poland Regional High School students heard from Smith about the dangers of texting and driving. The students also viewed a compelling 10-minute documentary called “The Last Text” that was produced by AT&T as part of the company’s “It Can Wait” campaign.
Students were invited to sign a pledge promising not to text and drive. Since AT&T launched the program in March of 2010, nearly 61,000 individuals — teens, parents, and more — have taken the pledge to not text and drive.
