Teens from Kings Park took to the wheel recently and a made pledge not to text and drive after having completing a distracted driver obstacle course set up at Kings Park High School.

“No one is immune to being distracted while driving, but new drivers have the most to learn about the hazards and consequence,” said Reimels. “No text is worth risking a life.”
