Using cell while driving

I am devastated. It breaks my heart to see how many people are losing their lives both innocent and not innocent--in using cell phones while driving.

I got rearended last month--the driver wasn't on the cell phone, but instead was distracted by someone outside his window. Thankfully he was not traveling fast.

I saw a picture today, of a Honda crotch bike, jammed inside of a car. The driver, passenger and the bike rider, were all killed instantly.

Everyday, I venture out. I FORCE myself to put my phone down. And leave it. This is important. It could save a life. My life, someone elses life. Don't text and drive. Don't TALK and drive.

I get frusterated when I see hearing people talking on their cells, and they didn't see me, and we avoid a near collision because they weren't paying attention. At least when your gabbering on the phone, you CAN watch the road. Texting involves taking your eyes OFF the road. And yet, still so many wrecks.

We can avoid this. Even if theres a new law that forbids it---is it really going to bring the numbers down? People can text under the steeringwheel. They can put the phone on speaker. Its still distracting.

Im not so innocent. I had a few closecalls myself--when I texted and drove. This is why I don't. Its too scary and its not worth it. Its not worth losing my life or someone elses life over.

PLEASE, think before you use your cell and drive. Save a life. It might be yours!
