People and texting today…
I have decided to write about texting and driving. Almost everybody does it or has done it at some point even if they are ashamed to admit it. I do not think that people really understand the consequences of such a simple everyday thing. When we hear our phone go off there is this urgency for most people to read what was sent to them or answer it, after all it could be an emergency right? However if you answer that call or text, you might be the one in the emergency. How important is your life? How important is the life of the family in the car in front of you? Maybe there is a newborn in that minivan in front of you or a pregnant woman. Is that text so important that their lives don’t really matter? It is a fact that texting while driving kills. If you don’t believe it then ask the people who can’t talk to their kids or loved ones any longer because someone had to answer that text. What is so important that it can’t wait until you get to your destination? The answer is simple, nothing is that important and if you think it is then pull your car over, be responsible and respond to the text with your car in park. Don’t do it while driving it is just NOT worth it.

I know what you mean. I basically wrote the same thing too. Texting isnt as important as a life.
ReplyDeleteLike I always say, 'texting and driving' is very similar to 'drinking and driving.' Nice post, it's good to inform people about these types of dangers, and to realize how much we take things, like our own life, for granted.
