AT&T again bringing texting simulator to SC

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — AT&T is bringing its warnings about the dangers of texting and driving back to South Carolina.

On Saturday, company representatives are at an AT&T store in Charleston to show off a simulator that lets visitors try to send a text while behind the wheel. On Sunday, the company is taking part in a back to school bash for Richland School District 2 in Columbia.

Earlier this week, AT&T’s simulator made several stops in North Carolina. The company has put on similar events at the North Carolina and South Carolina Legislatures, as well as the University of South Carolina.

AT&T says the travels are leading up to Sept. 19. That’s the day the company is making a nationwide push for people to sign a pledge that they won’t text and drive.
