Police remind teens about dangers texting while driving

September 27, 2011 (CHICAGO)

The current program is timed to coincide with homecoming at area schools. Tuesday at Marist High School students drove golf carts while texting and also while wearing special goggles to show how difficult it is.

They also wore the goggles while trying to walk a straight line to simulate alcohol impairment.

This special sheriff's unit is conducting these demonstrations at high schools across Cook County.
