Sunday was the last day for the Rochester Auto Show. Besides highlighting the newest cars, the show also came with an important lesson for teen and adult drivers: "Don't Text and Drive".

The auto show was at the Riverside Convention Center this weekend. A video game demonstrating the dangers of texting and driving was featured alongside the beautiful new cars.

The demonstration was run by the New York State Police Department. It shows the player how texting can impact your ability to drive. Studies show when a driver is texting, they are 23 times more likely to get in an accident.

If you're caught texting and driving, the fine is $150 plus points on your license.
