Cars are big, and fast, and heavy, and dangerous. You think we would take care when driving one -- yet texting while driving is a major epidemic, especially among younger drivers.
The winners of the Toyota TeenDrive365 Video Challenge think it's a matter of perspective. We see cars everywhere, every day, and usually nothing bad happens. We take their bulk for granted.
What if you looked at it a different way, though? What if you remembered you are driving in a vehicle that weighs the same as a 2-ton beluga whale? Some of the new Toyota vehicles for sale in San Antonio have shocking counterparts in the animal kingdom:
- The Toyota Tundra can weigh as much as an Asian elephant (2.8 tons)
- The Toyota Tacoma weighs roughly the same as a beluga whale (2 tons)
- The Toyota Camry weighs more than the average giraffe (1.4 tons)
Teen drivers and experienced motorists alike should never loose perspective on just how large and dangerous vehicles can be. If you wouldn't want to tangle with an elephant, then keep your eyes on the road for the safety of yourself, your passengers, and everyone else around you.
