In 2009, California took father Wayne Irving II this one step further when he launched, has confirmed that Textkills.com, a non-profit organization in the life since then by celebrities like Justin Bieber, Naomi Campbell, and even Simon Cowell.
Irving started textkills.com to notice how his daughter on her cell phone was hooked. Add their SMS throughout the day from the table to the living room, Irving began thinking about the more dangerous effects their so-called looking for. "I think we all know someone who was in a kind of accident that involved with SMS while driving to do," he said.
As Textkills.com had Irving and enormous success, the 36-foot bus, the nationwide teaching about the dangers of distracted driving travel largely driven. The bus has collected more than 15,000 signatures and even by the Department of transportation visit he invited White House.

But young people are also each other, the phone put their motivation while driving.
