Mandatory class on dangers of distracted driving held at Webster Schroeder

A mandatory class on why teenagers should not drive while texting or using their cell phones was held in Webster Wednesday morning. School officials required it for any student who wants to drive to school this year.

News10NBC was at Webster Schroeder Wednesday morning where the message focused on the dangers and the consequences of distracted driving.

Students heard from local trauma doctors as well as a first-hand account from Matt Olivieri, who was paralyzed in an accident involving a distracted driver. He said, “It's a dangerous place to be out there and just trying to make people aware, trying to see what the consequences can be and hopefully stop someone and make them think a little bit more.”

Olivieri says he hopes his life can be a example for young drivers about how drastically yours or someone else's life can be altered by a distracted driver.
