Being personally affected tends to influence behavior but it also means that you have to deal with the tragedy. So quakertown hoy school decided to try something different. Today we have a demonstration from Lehigh Valley health network. They have a driving simulator. Its to demonstrate the dangers of, um, not only teching and driving but distracted driving. Reporter in fairness to the students, as the lines form to trite simulator, yes, several admitted that they do text and drive.

No movement or sanitation below the waste good it was scary. Yeah. Yeah. I crashed into someone. There was red light and i didnt stop fast enough. I seen whats happening on the roads. People crash. People die because of it. Oops.
