A new AT&T survey says that more adults than teens are likely to text while driving. Do you think it's true in Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Joliet?
Hey Mom and Dad, and all the other adults out there: Do you text and drive? A new survey by AT&T Wireless indicates you do. Does the expression “Do as I say, not as I do” ring true here? Perhaps it should it be, “Drive as I say, not as I text.” With the National Safety Council attributing more than 100,000 crashes a year to texting and driving, and with 75 percent of teens saying texting and driving is common among their friends, perhaps many assumed the problem was associated most with these youthful drivers. But the AT&T Wireless survey indicates otherwise. According to the survey, 43 percent of teen drivers admitted to texting and driving.

A survey is available for all those interested in providing Metra with feedback for Oswego expansion.
Editor's Note: Special thanks to the Village of Oswego for the information. Metra, the commuter rail agency, is again seeking public input for its new strategic plan. "This is the perfect opportunity to encourage Metra to expand its services to Oswego and turn the Park-N-Ride at the corner of Mill and Orchard into a station," wrote Village president Brian LeClercq in a letter. "Not only would this be of great convenience to the commuters who currently use the Park-N-Ride, but this would bring economic stimulus to the area, developing new business and with it, new employment opportunities."
