Distracted Drivers Kill!
Wow! 16 percent of all fatalities in auto crashes in 2009 were from Distracted Drivers. At some point, I would venture to say, we've all been guilty of driving while distracted. Make a commitment to yourself, your family, and the community at large to NOT use your cell phone in any fashion while you are behind the wheel.
There is no phone call, text, or app that you need to answer, send, or look up so urgently while you're driving. If there is, then pull over and park the car. It's high time that people start thinking more highly of others around them then themselves.
You could be on the phone with the leader of the free world, your mother, or that VIP client and it would all mean nothing when you kill my child, my friend, or even yourself in a car crash because of your stupid and selfish actions.
So join me and put your phone out of reach while you're driving. Do it for your kids, do it for yourself, do it for the rest of us. Don't be Distracted Driver!
