The Last Emoji
An American company called LTE Spirit has unveiled a chilling sculpture of a giant emoji sticking out its tongue, made from the remains of a car destroyed in a road accident caused by the distraction of texting.
The sculpture, named "The Last Emoji", sounds quite macabre, but reminds the public that texting while driving is a major distraction and the cause behind many road accidents each year, resulting in a high and preventable number of deaths annually, especially among young people.
Visitors are encouraged to share a picture of the sculpture on social media with the hashtag #sprintdrivesafe and the message "DN'T TXT & DRIVE", to raise awareness about the issue and spread the word. The sculpture is located in Miami, Florida.
The reason the protest is taking place specifically in Miami is because Florida remains one of the few states that have not banned texting while driving as a primary offence.
Unfortunately, texting is not the only issue; posting images/photos on Facebook (or other social networks) and updating your status are also causes… in this case, we can help by updating your Facebook page or your company's page daily without you having to worry, and even ensure safer driving! :p
