'It Can Wait' Campaign Arrives at The Prout School
Students are urged to say "no" to snapping selfies, posting pictures, and updating their status while driving.
WAKEFIELD, RI — Atty. Gen. Peter F. Kilmartin will send his assistant to The Prout School on Wednesday (March 29). Assistant Attorney General Jay Sullivan will be at school at 9 .m. to introduce Kilmartin's anti-texting and driving campaign, “It Can Wait." The goal is to educate teen drivers on the dangers and consequences of distracted driving.
Kilmartin has made several presentations around the state, but this will be the first time Prout has participated in the campaign.
According to his office, students will hear from key officials, watch a powerful documentary featuring young people impacted by distracted driving, and will sign a pledge to not use their phones while driving. In addition, a student will demonstrate the dangers of distracted driving using the AT&T driving simulator.
