An event at Hudson High School marked the first anniversary of No Texting While Driving Ban.

 

The simple message that text messages can -- and should -- wait until after driving was reinforced at a school assembly at Hudson High School by Associate Principal Kevin Moore, local legislators, the Wisconsin State Patrol, AAA and AT&T. The event featured a showing of a powerful documentary called "The Last Text" that shares real stories about lives altered or ended by someone's decision to text and drive.

"Texting while driving is a serious offense that has potentially deadly consequences," said Rep. Dean Knudson (R-Hudson). "That's why events like today's assembly are an important part of efforts to educate our youth about the dangers and help keep our roads safe for all drivers."
