    How Tom’s txt led to a school front crash

    We all know that we shouldn’t be using our phone when behind the wheel.  But many people believing that they are “good drivers” can easily fall into the trap of “just quickly checking a txt” or “taking a short call”.  One person who knows all too well the dangers of mobile phones in vehicles is Alex Jannink of Acucensus, the company behind Australia’s mobile phone cameras.  He joins Rusty and Lisa to hear the story of Tom who while texting and driving, crashed into the back of a car in front of hundreds of people from his school.
