TN High students create film advocating against texting while driving
BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) — Tennessee High School's (THS) Criminal Justice 2 class worked with the Bristol, Tennessee, Fire Department Saturday to make an awareness video on the dangers of texting while driving.
Senior Fairyn Meares said the project follows a class poll in which students admitted to texting while driving.
'Hands Off!' rallies held around the region
'We just know that it's difficult for young people nowadays with all the social media and everything that they feel compelled to look at,' Meares said. It's just trying to send awareness out to everyone, especially everyone in our school, to focus on yourself and safety first.'
The City of Bristol, TN, said in a social media post, 'We commend these THS students for focusing on the dangers of texting while driving during National Distracted Driving Month.'
The video was filmed on the old access road to Holston View Elementary School.
