A recent survey asked readers to respond to the following question, “Do you text and drive?”
The results were:
All the time? 15 (21%)
Occasionally? 28 (38%)
Never? 30 (41%)
Of the 73 who voted (thanks, Readers!), 41% said they never do.
This leaves 59% who text all the time or at least occasionally.
So, as you drive, keep a careful eye on all that is happening around you, especially approaching you head-on or following you as you approach a traffic light or stop sign.

You never know who is interested…

Now, what we need is PSA like this one...then again it would be upsetting the balance that natural selection provides. Ouch..was that too harsh...??

WARNING. The YouTube video in the above link is graphic. Anyone who drives and texts should watch it and understand exactly how serious driving while distracted is.
Have your young drivers watch it - perhaps several times. Warn them not to text while driving AND not ride with a driver who is texting.
Thanks, Ray.
