CARMAGEDDON: The Great Text Temptation #Itcanwait

Texting drivers cause 100,000 accidents a year, many resulting in serious injury and even death, according to the National Safety Council.  AT&T reminds LA drivers not to text and drive this weekend even if stuck in Carmageddon traffic.  No text is worth a life.  More than one million Americans have pledged to not text while driving as part of AT&T’s “It Can Wait” campaign.  Join them at www.itcanwait.com.  #Itcanwait
