W8 2 TXT

Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for teen drivers. That's why local SUBWAY® restaurants have joined with the state highway patrol to urge young drivers to wait to send text messages - or W8 2 TXT - when they are not behind the wheel. According to a Virginia Tech Transportation Institute Study, drivers who send text messages while driving are 23 times more likely to crash. The W8 2 TXT Campaign begins at the start of March 2013 and will conclude in April, during National Distracted Driver Awareness Month.
