SYNOPSIS: Collier County Sheriff’s Office Captain Tim Guerrette, Commander Beth Jones and representatives from the CCSO Teen Advisory Board will discuss the agency’s campaign against text-messaging while driving.
Studies show consistently that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents. While cell phones offer great convenience in today’s society, the risks of texting while driving are becoming increasingly clear.
CCSO and its Teen Advisory Board have agreed to work together to help motorists understand the dangers of texting behind the wheel of a vehicle. This campaign will be ongoing over the next several months.
