About the Dangers of Distracted Driving

and driving campaign to Boston Latin Academy students.
More than 300 high school juniors will participate in an interactive demonstration that shows

documentary presented by AT&T and a driving simulation program that shows drivers firsthand how quickly things can change when you take your eyes off the road.
