Texting and Driving.....

Well, I would be lying if I told you that I have NEVER done any phone use while driving. I know I shouldn't have but it was too tempting. But now, there has been an unofficial test done and it just confirms what I thought. Texting while driving is really dangerous. I mean, you have to type on a little keyboard and drive at the same time? It's obvious that it's not as easy at putting on make up which is also not safe.

However, this test points to the fact that your reaction time is SLOWER than someone who is drunk. WAY WORSE. gulp.

So, we KNOW it's dangerous but how do we get people to stop? If we only knew that answer to the many, many questions in life. I bet the Governor of South Carolina is also wondering that about himself. Sometimes, I think we know better but just can't stop or help ourselves.
