This Young Woman Speaks Up When Friends Text While Driving

Do you speak up when you are a passenger in the car and the driver begins to text or talk on their phone?

You should.

Even if the person mocks you.

Read and hear about Cady Reynolds, a 16 year-old who was killed by a fellow distracted texting, teen who ran a red light, while texting.

"Distracted driving kills. Safe driving starts with you," says the sister of Cady Reynolds.

On May 30, 2007, 16-year-old Cady Reynolds was driving her best friend home from a movie near Omaha, NE when another teen driver--who was texting behind the wheel--ran a red light and slammed into her car at 50MPH. Cady was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries and died the next day. (Distraction.Gov)

Are you a teen? Do you ask drivers to stop texting and talking while driving? Are you an adult who feels comfortable, doesn't feel comfortable? I'd love to hear.
