Texting and driving plays a very dangerous role in today's society. Join me as I take the simulator 'text drive' (see what I did there). 

According to AT&T's It Can Wait campaign, nearly 40% of us use some form of social media while driving. I went to the AT&T store on Westnedge in Kalamazoo, where I met Sheriff Richard Fuller and got to try out the simulator.

The simulator takes you on a drive through some neighborhoods and interstates with your phone constantly blowing up with text's and Facebook alerts.

While I cant show you the video, you can check it, learn more about the It Can Wait campaign and take the pledge at itcanwait.com. They also have an app you can download that will silence your phone while driving.
