Cat Calls: Texting While Driving

Video: We hit the streets to find out what Los Gatans really thought about text messaging while driving. One woman said her method allows for “some vision of the road,” while another man said he stopped texting after nearly crashing on Highway 17. Text messaging while driving makes you 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident, according to research released last week from Virginia Tech’s Transportation Institute.

Cat Calls: Swine Flu
Jul 22, 2009, by Mike Anderson Community
Video: We asked Los Gatans for their thoughts on Swine Flu, which claimed its first Santa Clara County death earlier this month. Although it was declared a global pandemic in June by the World Health Organization, one Los Gatos man wasn’t worried, calling it “a waste of time.” And one student was excited her school might close down after a possible infection. There have been 40,617 confirmed cases and 263 Swine Flu deaths in the United States, 52 of which were in California, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
