-In 2010, AT&T started the It Can Wait Campaign.

  -It's goal is to get people to pledge to always have your

eyes on the road when driving and not on your phone.

   -With today's technologies, it is becoming easier to

communicate with others. It can vary from Facebook,

Instagram, Twitter, or a simple text. Because of this, drivers-

more directly, teens and milenials- are getting distracted

from the road to look at their notifications. This causes severe

wrecks and injuries each year.

   -This campaign focuses on young drivers to never text

and drive; "No life is worth losing over a text or call while

driving somewhere."
