Officials are reminding the public to “just say no” to texting and walking

The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association wants you to cut out the texting and walking. Canadians send nearly ten million messages an hour – or 227 million per day. The association says texting while driving is a major no-no, but wants pedestrians to take precautions too. Association president, Bernard Lord, says people need to be aware of their surroundings so they don’t run into trouble – like getting hit by a car. Despite hands-free or distracted driving laws in a number of provinces, texting accidents continue to happen. A Quebec woman died January in a car accident that happened while she was texting behind the wheel.
