Text And Drive? Expect A Twitter Shaming From The Feds
CHICAGO (CBS) -- If you admit to texting or Snapchating while driving, you just might hear from the federal government.
Don't be another statistic.

No matter how old you are - stay safe, alive, and off your phone. #justdrive pic.twitter.com/VJW5PhJbPW
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is using Twitter to issue strong warnings to people who simply don't think it's dangerous.
Does doing what you want include being a danger to yourself and other drivers, @FranklinLH808? For everyone's sake - don't snap, #justdrive.

If by "efficient" you mean "super dangerous and dumb", then yeah, it's pretty efficient, @Narnold98. Please stay off the phone & #justdrive.

So you're putting yourself and others in danger, @nurnurein, and that's something we can't accept. Please put down the phone and #justdrive.

Except in real life, you actually have to control the car you're riding in, @drunkcollegekid. Put down the phone and #justdrive.

The initiative comes during Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
