Each year thousands of people—most of which are younger than 25—die behind the wheel due to texting.

To convince youngster not to text while driving, Belgian organization Responsible Yong Drivers (RYD) ‘issued’ a new (fake) road safety measure for driving tests.

To pass the driving test and get their licence, candidates have to prove that they were able to use text while driving.
