Take a few minutes to introduce yourself to the class Who are you and why are you here? Why do you care about this issue? Slide 2: AT&T teen poll - 5 min. Conduct a quick, informal poll of the class (raise your hands if…) I sometimes text, Snapchat, or check my Facebook, Twitter or Instagram while I’m driving I sometimes look at my phone at a red light I sometimes see my parents texting or using an app while they drive I expect a response from a friend within 5 minutes of sending them a text or Facebook chat Wait for a few seconds between each question to give slow responders a chance to answer. Encourage the group to look around the room to see whose hands are up.

We asked teens across the country similar questions and found that: 1.It’s hard to get a straight answer when you ask people if they use their phones while driving 2.Many still do it, even though they know it’s illegal, and even though they know it’s dangerous 3.A majority glance at their phones at a red light (73%) 4.Many shared that their parents text and drive all the time (77%) 5.A majority expect a response to texts in less than 5 minutes (89%) Slide 4: “From One Second to the Next” Documentary – (2 min trailer or 35 min full video) If time permits, have a 5 minute discussion. Ask teens about the consequences of texting and driving: Legal (loss/suspension of license) Medical (hurting or killing someone) Social (life changing injury, hurting a friend, disappointing loved ones) Financial (insurance) Slide 5: Play Video – depending on time allotment of presentation, choose the 2 minute or 30 minute version

Take a moment to share some facts and statistics with the class. Texting and driving is extremely dangerous, and can hurt people like you and me. If you text and drive you are 2x more likely to be in an accident In fact, an AT&T Teen Driver Survey shows that 43% of teens say they text and drive; 97% agree it is dangerous, but still do it. The 2011 Ad Council shows that 77% of teens are confident they can text while driving safely. In 2015, it was found that 6 out of 10 moderate to severe teen car accidents are the result of a distracted driver. Writing or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for an average 4.6 seconds. At 55 MPH, that’s like driving the length of a football field. Talk to the group about distractions with your phone in the car changes your life. Then tell them you’ll show them how it impacted real people. Slide 7: Game - 5 min. Ask for participants for a game to demonstrate how distracting it is to text and drive. Ask a volunteer to come to the front of the class. Ask that person to try to keep three balloons in the air while sending a text. Ask the class to observe how successful they are in doing two things at once. Repeat with 3-5 more volunteers.

If the class is in a gym or you have space, ask for two volunteers. Have the volunteers race on tricycles while trying to send a text message on their phones. Judge them on how quickly they complete the course and how well they were able to text. Repeat 3- 5 times. The purpose of these activities is to see how much texting impairs your ability to function. While these tasks may seem silly, they require much less cognitive energy than driving does, so imagine how much more texting impairs your ability to drive. Slide 9: Why slide - 5 min. Discuss why, knowing all this, teens continue to text and drive. Use the lines on the slide as common examples that people use to excuse their tendency to text while driving. Slide 10: Explain that it’s okay to change your behavior Discussion why it’s okay to not respond to friends/ family immediately while driving Feeling teen would have if friend/ family got in an accident Feeling if they didn’t speak up

Slide 12: How to Get Involved Share the examples and ask the group if they have other ideas for how they can help get people to pay attention while driving. Call on individuals and ask them what they’re going to start doing.

List resources AT&T has developed to raise awareness: Hold a quick discussion, asking students what actions they can take to stop cell phone influenced distracted driving among their friends and family. Spread the word to everyone: Eyes on the Road, Not on Your Phone. Speak up and tell others it’s not okay to use phones while driving. Designated phone users: When getting into a car with friends, ask one person to hold the driver’s phone and send messages for them Download the AT&T Drive Mode ® app – It automatically replies to your incoming texts while you’re on the road to let people know you’ll get back to them when you’re not driving. Peer outreach: Talk to peers about texting while driving, share the message on social media. Family agreements: Make a verbal or written agreement between family members, promising not to text and drive. Hold an event to raise awareness: Hold an event with peers to discuss the cell phone influenced distracted driving problem in your community.
