BMW fights texting while driving - Click above to watch video
after the jump has unveiled a new campaign to help combat
distracted driving. The German automaker is specifically focusing its efforts on curtailing texting while driving with a summer advertising campaign that kicks off this month and runs through the rest of the year. The company has worked up a few video spots that position images of over-protective parents against those who mindlessly text while driving.
