San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 18, 2007 -- This year 2,600 men, women, and, children will be killed, and 300,000 injured, by drivers using cell phones behind the wheel of a car.
Government and state regulations have done little to correct this problem. Now one San Diego commuter has created a bumper sticker that has helped to raise awareness, while also causing some controversy in his community.
Placed on the rear bumper of his 1993 Mercedes, Michael Schriner makes his statement: Save a Life - Hang Up Your Cell Phone. Simple, and to the point, Schriner feels that this message needs to be put in front of the countless drivers who take advantage of one simple fact; talking on a cell phone while driving endangers lives.
Hundreds of people in Schriner's community have joined him in his crusade to spread the word by placing bumper stickers on their cars.
Schriner feels that his message will have an impact on drivers using cell phones. Viewing his message will remind them of the risk they pose to other drivers. According to Schriner, "Drivers are distracted when they're on the cell phone. They drive erratically, often ignoring other drivers around them, while they dangerously move in and out of lanes. They are an accident just waiting to happen."
Despite a few disapproving looks, Schriner has had an overwhelming positive reaction to his message.
Schriner has setup the website www.hangupyourcellphone.com to promote his bumper stickers. Already he has sold over 2,500 bumper stickers in less than 3 weeks.
Schriner goes on to say, "I hope I can help raise awareness and reduce this needless problem by educating other drivers."
If you feel as frustrated as Schriner, then join him in his crusade and place one of his bumper stickers on your vehicle today.
