Happy April Fools’ Day, everyone! Did anyone pull any good pranks (or have any pulled on you) yet? (Google’s is pretty tame this year . . . but hey, I give them credit for having a since of humor!) I’d love to hear about your pranks. Leave a comment and let me know . . . and keep reading for some info on what’s going on in student culture right now.
Teens, mobile phones, and driving:
Despite warnings from parents and one very convincing PSA (which we’ve featured before but is graphic, so be warned), many teenagers are still using their mobile phones while they drive. If the girls in your ministry are repeat offenders, you might want to address the subject. ConnectwithKids.com cited the following frightening statistics last week:
Distraction from cell phone use while driving (hand held or hands free) extends a driver's reaction as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent. (University of Utah)
Driving while using a cell phone reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent (Carnegie Mellon University)
The No. 1 source of driver inattention is use of a wireless device. (Virginia Tech/NHTSA)
We all know teenage drivers are still getting the hang of driving. How do you encourage the girls in your ministry to be responsible drivers? Or do you leave this topic entirely up to their parents?
