"Just let it ring" in Keokuk : News : ConnectTriStates.com

Two students who told us they're masters at texting were asked to walk and text at the same time - while blindfolded. They discovered it's not so easy.

KHQA's "Just Let It Ring" campaign is making its way through the Tri-States. Wednesday, we spoke with students and staff at Keokuk High School about the importance of paying attention and being in control when you're driving, and how distractions such as texting can be dangerous to you and others on the road.
