Hohmann Ronnie Hohmann Sharon Nolan American Literature 6/11/18 Public Service Announcement plays a significant role in helping to reduce the number of distracted driving incidents. However, despite the role that Public Service Announcement plays many people believe that Public Service Announcement is not a good strategy for reducing distracted driving. Distracted driving refers to the activities that divert the attention of people from driving. The activities that might hinder safe driving are numerous including texting over the mobile phone, talking to someone in the vehicle, fiddling with the stereo and setting the entertainment or navigation system while driving among other activities. While distracted driving is a challenge to people of all ages, it is crystal clear that the young drivers between the age of fifteen and nineteen are the primary victims. From the 2013 United States Cell phone and driving statistics 3154 people died and 424000 people injured from accidents that were caused by distracted driving. It is, therefore, valid to say that despite the fact that Public Service Announcement cannot completely eradicate distracted driving, it plays a vital role in reducing the number of distracted accident incidents. Public Service Announcement is essential in reducing the incidents of distracted driving because they send an important message to the members of the public. In some instances, the Public Service Announcement may instill fear into the drives especially if it features an acted accident that results as a result of distracted driving. A study done on the Texas State University Hohmann students revealed that most of the students felt that they could restrain from texting while driving after watching the Public Service Announcements that had fatal scenes (Bummara, and Choi). The students felt that the deadly scenes of the Public Service Announcement that they watched were supposed to be aired on the television to increase awareness and help more people to refrain from activities that distracted them while driving such as texting. Public Service Announcement campaigns that aim to sensitize on the dangers of distracted driving are useful in the country, and many people who have been victims of accidents related to distracted driving are willing to take part is sensitization of people. In places that the announcements regarding distractive driving have reached people the cases of distractive driving accidents have significantly reduced. Accidents have decreased considerably in areas where people especially the youths have been sensitized on the dangers of distractive driving by the Public Service Announcement. Various researchers show that those who have been enlightened about distractive driving are willing to sensitize fellow drivers on the same hence showing that Public Service Announcement is vital in reducing distracted driving (Adelizzi). Despite the fact that many people believe that Public Service Announcement is effective in reducing the number of distracted driving incidents some still believe that it does not. Research conducted by AT&T reveals that Public Service Announcement is not so much useful in reducing the instances of distracted driving because in most cases the young drivers feel so much pressured by the urge to read their messages when they receive them behind the wheel. The survey that the AT&T conducted indicated that 89% of the people who took part in the study felt pressured and unable to ignore their text messages received while they were driving (Adelizzi). Other researchers also reveal that despite the fact that the drivers had been sensitized using Public Service Announcement strategies they still could not avoid the activities that result Hohmann to distracted driving ("What Is Being Done To Stop Distracted Driving? - Safe Teen Driving Blog"). Public Service Announcement plays a vital role in reducing the number distracted accident incidents. Despite the fact that some people refute the effectiveness of the Public Service Announcement many researchers emphasize that the Public Service Announcement are of great significance in reducing the number of distracted driving incident. The government and other interested stakeholders should, therefore, reduce the distracted driving incidence by using Public Service Announcement as one of their primary strategies.
