Is Texting Worth Your Life

I am irritated that people do not drive any more
They are so busy texting, they do not get the big picture.
They look up intermittently, but not often enough
Not realizing that every truck and car is a potential weapon
Until one hits them head on
By then it may be too late
Is texting” I will be there in five” really that important?

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/13/2022 7:24:00 PM Answer: Of course, texting is that important. I'd rather be hit by a truck than possibly miss a text from my late step-sister -- hit by a bus while texting. lol. (P.S., I don't have a smartphone and I don't text. lol).

Shirley Hawkins Date: 7/13/2022 5:54:00 PM Good one, Caren. Do people use their phones more these days? I am sure that most of the calls are just idle chatter. Take care, Shirley Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/14/2022 7:27:00 AM It is crazy how many have died texting "I will be there in....."

L Milton Hankins Date: 7/13/2022 5:19:00 PM Not at all, Caren. Not at all! Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/14/2022 7:27:00 AM It is so crazy to me.

Ann Foster Date: 7/13/2022 4:22:00 PM So perfectly stated... a winner for all to hear and take to heart. Ann Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/14/2022 7:28:00 AM I wish every child would realize how much more important driving is than texting while driving.
