Project Proposal Ashley Dietz, Lynn Stacy, Christopher West, Stephen Rektenwald

Our group will create a public service announcement to raise awareness on the dangers of texting while driving. Our audience will be all drivers in the state of Texas. We will record a person driving erratically while texting on a cell phone. We will film at a local school and use one driver in a car. WE will include graphs of the statistics on texting and driving, from 2 independent studies. ** PSA Script ** - <span style="borderbottom: medium none; borderbottomstyle: none; borderbottomwidth: medium; borderleft: black 1.5pt solid; borderleftcolor: black; borderleftstyle: solid; borderleftwidth: 1.5pt; borderright: medium none; borderrightstyle: none; borderrightwidth: medium; borderstyle: none none none solid; bordertop: medium none; bordertopstyle: none; bordertopwidth: medium; borderwidth: medium medium medium 1.5pt; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 4pt; padding-right: 0in; padding-top: 0in; paddingbottom: 0in; paddingleft: 4pt; paddingright: 0in; paddingtop: 0in;">Nationally, it is estimated that 80% of all accidents are caused by distracted drivers. -In 2008, 2.35 million people were injured in car accidents. 515,000 of those involved a distracted driver. and more than 100,000 of them were Texans. -A study conducted by the Virginia Technology Transportation Institute found that texting while driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving.-A University of Utah study shows that over 35% of people 16-34 years of age text occasionally while driving and over 12% text frequently. -The 2studies found drivers who text while behind the wheel have between 8 and 23 times greater risk of being in an accident, as compared with a 4 times greater risk by drivers who are talking on a cell phone or who have consumed alcoholic beverages. -Visit [|www.drivinglaws.org] for more information.
