Mississauga, ON -- (SBWire) -- 09/15/2014 --AllPennyStocks.com Media, Inc. (http://www.AllPennyStocks.com/) announces its latest article titled “ProText Mobility Shares Jump on Distribution Deal for DriveAlert to Combat Distracted Driving.”
Companies mentioned in this article include General Motors (NYSE:GM), AT&T (NYSE:T) and Protext Mobility (OTCPK:TXTM).
Article Excerpt:
Many people know how distracting it can be to text and drive. Statistics show that the minimal amount of time that a person is not paying attention to driving when texting is five seconds, which at 55 miles per hour means the vehicle just covered the length of a football field. Poignant advertising campaigns regularly publicize how deadly it can be. This week, Colorado’s Christina Jahnz added a new possible outcome from texting, a metal pole in the butt. Jahnz says she was running late to a meeting, sent a voice text and when she looked down to make sure that it went through correctly got into an accident that left her impaled with a piece of guardrail that went through her truck’s headlight, her thigh and buttock and into the seat. Surgeons had to remove the pole. Not only is she lucky to be alive, but there is no permanent damage to her body. Reports say she was going just 20 miles per hour.
This story is part of a growing cautionary tale and nationwide initiatives to curtail mobile device uses when behind the wheel. Despite varying laws on using handheld phones or texting while driving (39 states prohibit texting), it still goes on every day. The law firm of Edgar Snyder & Associates, who represent people injured by other people using cell phones, says that at any given time during daylight hours, 660,000 drivers in the U.S. are using their cell phones.
Distracted driving is a reason that companies such as General Motors (NYSE:GM) are reportedly installing sensors in cars that can detect the driver’s eye and head motions to alert them when they’re not paying attention. AT&T (NYSE:T) is beefing up its “It Can Wait” campaign, encouraging users of all ages to use “#X” before they get behind the wheel to tell everyone that they are driving. It’s also a reason upstart Protext Mobility (OTCPK:TXTM) is out marketing DriveAlert, an OBD-II (On Board Driving) technology that helps avoid distracted driving.
