Testing his skills: State Senator George Amedore sits in an AT&T simulator at Crossgates Mall, wearing Galaxy S7 virtual reality goggles and headphones to see if he can drive while a cellphone goes off. Amedore gave the simulator a test run after a press conference about the “It Can (All) Wait” campaign. “It’s to educate our young drivers to focus on the road,” he said during the conference. Mall patrons can use the simulator in front of the AT&T store for free.

Getting the word out: AT&T director of external affairs Ed Bergstraesser talks during Monday afternoon’s press conference at Crossgates Mall in Guilderland about the need to save lives by putting down cellphones while driving. Research from AT&T was shared, showing that 7 in 10 people engage in dangerous smartphone activities while driving, including testing, checking email, posting to social media, snapping selfies, video chatting, and playing games like Pokemon go.
