What is W82TXT?

W82TXT (Wait to Text) - W82TXT is a community awareness campaign, to encourage drivers not to text while behind the wheel. 2 KASA FOX is handing out thumb bands, with the W82TXT message. The bands are designed to remind people, not to text while driving.

Texting while driving is the most dangerous form of distracted driving. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says drivers who text, are six times more likely to cause an accident than intoxicated drivers. This scary statistic is perhaps because when texting, the driver’s steering capability goes down 91%.

The W82TXT thumb bands are being distributed and worn as a reminder of the W82TXT message.

2 KASA FOX's W82TXT partners include New Mexico Department of Transportation, KRQE News 13, 94 Rock, Big I 107.9, 100.3 The Peak, 104.1 the edge, 104.7 Classic Country, Lite 95.1, AM 1350 Progressive Talk and Clear Channel Radio.

W82TXT and help save someone’s life… maybe even your own.
