Teens and Twenties

 

TextQ App lets you stay focused on your driving, while your new phone App instantly reply to all texters and callers. They know you can’t answer right now. You know you responded without delay, and will get back to them when you are not driving. Everybody wins.

 

1.  Texting while driving is more dangerous that drinking and driving. By the end of this day, today, 11 teens will be dead. Forever. By the end of this day, many many more will be seriously injured. Because of distracted drivers. You may die, or you may kill someone in the oncoming car because you are looking down texting. Some lives are stopped. Some are ruined. Forever.

 

2.  Show your Parents you are responsible. You know they want you home safe. You want the car? Use TextQ to make good your promise not to text while you are driving.

 

3. Join other teens, groups who care, and even Insurance Companies who are banding together to reduce deaths and injuries caused by drivers who are texting or talking on their cell phones.

 

4.  Your friends want an answer, but even more they want you alive.

 

Not convinced yet? Do a search for teen deaths from distracted drivers. "traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America. Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers". (NHTSA.gov/Teen-Drivers)

 

TextQ. for the price of a pack of gum, you get an App that sends the reply you have set up on the app to  automatically reply to people trying to text or call you while you are driving, or in class, or can’t answer the phone right then for your own reasons.

 

More than one third of all teen age deaths is from motor vehicle accidents. TextQ lets you keep focused on your driving and send anyone who texts or calls you the message you have programmed your phone to send.

 

Sad Realities of texting and driving and the death of Teenagers
