No text message is worth a life; texting while driving kills. In 2011, nearly one quarter of auto collisions involved people using cell phones.

On Wednesday, Eyewitness News will have a texting and driving simulator in our parking lot at the station on Piedmont Road in Charleston.
The event is open to everyone and will be available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
