LONG BEACH – The stands were filled with cheering tweens & teenage girls as the Jonas Brothers each went up to bat in the final Road Dogs game of the season in Blair Field on Sunday (the game was moved from Irvine).
During the game, a couple thousand fans joined the brothers in pledging not to text while driving or by designating someone to answer the phone while the car is in motion by adding their thumbprint to a banner promoting “X The Text” sponsored by Allstate insurance.
The brothers said they chose to support the campaign to help raise awareness of this killer on the rise. Recent statistics show that:
‐ Teens
crash
four
times
more
often
than
any
other
age
group
‐ Car
crashes
are
the
No.
1
killer
of
teens
‐ Texting
and
driving
can
increase
your
risk
of
crashing
by
23
times
‐ Reaching
for
a
phone
while
driving
increases
your
risk
of
a
crash
by nine times
‐ Texting
takes
our
eyes
off
the
road
for
an
average
of
5
seconds.
At
55
mph, that’s
driving
the
length
of
a football
field
–
completely
blind.
‐ Behind
the
wheel,
one
text
while
driving
equals
four
beers
The Road Dogs won 15-7 against the Marquis Jet Flyers on Sunday, pulling in the win for the season and delighting their fans. Fans cheered on from the stands as the Jonas brothers were presented with the trophy for the winning season.
