Don't Die To Send A Reply

Most everyone can admit to texting while driving. I've seen my mom do it, I've seen my dad do it, I've seen my best friends do it. Even I have to admit that I have done it a couple of times. It puts everyone in the car and everyone on the road around you in danger and it needs to stop. There are a million statistics that can convince everyone that texting and driving is dangerous, but most people won't stop until something bad happens.

"Nothing bad is going to happen to me."
"One text isn't a big deal."
"I'm good at texting and driving."

That is what goes through people's mind when they make the decision to pick up their cell phones and read or write a text. We need to convince ourselves that this one text won't be a big deal.

We need to reduce the number of distracted drivers on the road. Eating a burger, doing your makeup, changing the radio, texting. All of these things require you to take your eyes off the road, even for a second, which can lead to major consequences.
