Texting and Driving: It Can Wait

It Can Wait is a campaign that most of us have heard about or seen at some point, but AT&T is sponsoring a Texting While Driving Simulator that will be in the Business Building Atrium today from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The simulator, which is like a mix of Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto, gives you an opportunity to "drive" and face real life obstacles such as pedestrians, traffic lights, buildings, and other cars (sorry, no Lion Chariots though) all while trying to send text messages. This is all in honor of the "Drive 4 Pledges Day" which aims at having as many people as possible to take the pledge to not text and drive.
