Do you know how many people die a year from texting and driving? You will be surprised most accidents are from looking at electronic devices while driving. I will admit I have looked at my phone a couple of times while I’m driving but it takes just one second to look down at your device to get in someone else’s lane. You can take someone’s life away in just one instant, I promise you your phone can wait, it’s not that important. If you took someone's life away because of your stupidity, you wouldn’t be able to live with yourself. A prime example to not text and drive, one morning I was heading to work, I was going faster than I should down my road, but I was running really late to work. I got on twitter to post just one tweet, next thing you know I thought I was having some kind of nightmare but really I was getting slung around in my car going through a pipe fence and ending up in someone’s pastor. I lost control of my car, I wasn't paying attention to the rode. There was no telling how long I was out there but I woke up screaming my lungs out thinking someone could hear me in the middle of nowhere. I was very lucky I survived that wreck, nobody knows how I got out of that car a live. I’m blessed, I had a guardian angel watching over me. Nobody else was involved in this wreck. I walked away with just scratches, bruising and I was very sore for a couple of weeks. This was over one tweet people that’s all it takes. Maybe someday we will have cars that do the driving for us or devices that will shut down when safety is compromised. But today we know that electronic devices that pull a driver’s attention away from his or her primary task are unsafe. It’s time to put a stop to distraction. In David Brooks Article he said, “Being online isn’t just something we do. It has become who we are, transforming the very nature of the self.” Just because we can stay connected when we drive does not mean we should. No call, no text, no update is worth a human life.
