AT&T Anti-Texting While Driving Campaign: “It Can Wait” | Seattle Car Accident Lawyer

Blog Categories:

In an effort to reduce auto accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents which cause countless injuries and wrongful deaths, campaigns are being created left and right across the country in order to help put an end to cell phone use and distracted driving. Now, a cell phone company has finally joined the fight. AT&T has launched their “Txtng & Drivng … It Can Wait” campaign. This campaign hopes to remind all cell phone users that any text message they receive while driving can wait to be read until they are out of their car and done driving.

Using real life examples, the campaign hopes to show how insignificant and unimportant actual text messages that caused car accidents were. One of the television commercials shows the text “Where you at?” which is described by a mother as the text message her daughter was reading right before she was killed in a car accident.

The national radio, television, print and internet campaign will encourage individuals to read the last text message they have received and ask themselves if that message, and similar ones, are putting your life, and the lives of others at risk. There is no text that couldn’t wait until you are done driving.
