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?

- Many accidents happen due to mobile use in the car, Caren ... sacrificing one's life for a text message is foolish - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I see children texting in the car behind their wheels daily.

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).

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

I wish every child would realize how much more important driving is than texting while driving.
