Do Not Text and Drive

If you text and drive, please heed my advice. A car can be a dangerous weapon when a driver is not cautious. Think Before you get behind the wheel, think about distractions. Then, take your well-intended thoughts and put them into action. Action Place your cell phone out of the way, where it cannot be reached. While your driving, I find this action too important to overpreach. Stop If you must talk or text on the phone, first, pull your car off the road. Find a safe place to stop, don't text in driving mode. Example Set an example for the young, and remember studies have shown, there's a great chance the life you save may be your own.
