Message:   I have been teaching this in our(ABATE 20 MI) Motorcycle Awareness program for the last year.

While for the last 3 years (since I have been with the Awarness program) we have taught that talking on cells while drive is worst that driving drunk I have added a local reason that really wakes up our students(15-17 year olds).

The students usually start making excuses for the cell cell phone use when I ask this question ....."How is the person your talking to going to explain to your parents and family family that they were HEARD YOU DIE. Not only did you kill yourself and the people in your car, you messed up the person you were talking to for life."

After this question I get total silence. Most of the cell phones get pulled out and turned off.

We lost a 17 year old cheerleader from a local high school along with 4 of her best friends due to the fact she was TEXT MESSAGING WHILE DRIVEING ON I-75. This hits our students below the belt, it wakes them up.

maybe this story could wake a few more kids and adults up.
