Stop the Texts, Stop the Wrecks!  It takes 5 seconds to read the average text.  In that time your car can travel the length of a football field.  That's 5 seconds that can ruin your day, or worse.  KOMO Newsradio wants to encourage you to Stop the Texts, Stop the Wrecks!  Help make our highways safer.  Put the phone away and keep your eyes on the road.  Plus, talk to your teen driver about the dangers of texting while driving.  Learn more at KOMOnews.com/stopthewrecks.
