Public Service Campaign

Message to Distracted Drivers

The automobile insurance society (SAAQ) in the French-Canadian province of Quebec has launched a humorous public awareness campaign to warn Quebecers about the dangers of texting and driving. SAAQ estimates that people who text while driving are 20 times more likely to get into an accident. In Quebec, phone-related infractions climbed to 57,000 in 2011 – nearly triple the number from 2008. This is a message where you can laugh and, hopefully, learn.
