According to recent news articles, the U.S. Department of Transportation is announcing a new public educational service that hopes to make teens aware of the dangers of texting or handling their phones while driving. The service is called ‘OMG’ and it’s a campaign that will run on more than 6,500 movie screens, 500 TV screens and Outcast’s PumpTop TV.
Other distractions that may be life-threatening for young drivers will also be addressed by the campaign. The reports from the various news sources show that the announcement will be aired during the month of December in theaters and gas stations nationwide.
The positive approach of this new campaign hopes to embed a responsible attitude into the safe driving message without making it boring to teenagers. It is a widely known fact that teens are constantly eager to go against authoritarian figures.
The videos focus on types of distractions that are usually ignored by most motorists. This effort from the U.S. Department of Transportation will try to keep the message simple so the danger of distracted driving can be eradicated among young drivers.
Car accident lawyers in Los Angeles are sadly and unfortunately very familiar with fatal accidents involving young teenagers that could have been prevented if distraction wasn’t a major factor in the incidents.
Whenever you’re involved in a car accident that was caused by a distracted driver, contact a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer to assist you with your case.

According to different news sources, the Interstate 69 has been seeing many longtime opponents speaking up against the many accidents the speedy construction has allegedly caused.
The project to get the highway ready has been the alleged main cause for three different fatalities and other four people being left injured. Members of the Citizens for Appropriate Rural Roads, Inc. known as CARR, say that the rush to have this highway finished has increased the risks for everybody. The group is calling the contractors that are behind the construction to close it down until proper safety measures can be put in place.
All roads near the 1-69 pose accident hazards to drivers, according to a CARR member. A junction allegedly close to the problematic construction sight that lacks proper warning signs. According to the article, even speed limit signs have been covered up.
Reports from the Indiana Department of Transportation show however that the construction of the I-69 presents no major issues. CARR supporters aren’t exactly happy with the announcement from INDOT so they issued a call to the INDOT to cease construction and impose a new safety ordinance.
Officials claim they are working on addressing all issues brought up by CARR.
As a Los Angeles car accident lawyer I understand that an unsafe construction site may pose as severe threats to all drivers. Personal injury lawyers wish the authorities will take care of this issue and make the region around I-69 a safer one.
