Pay Attention

Sit, now put yourself in neutral, a car is there to drive
So listen very carefully if you want to stay alive
Don't tap out an email or look to check your hair
Or drag a last ciggie or change the station that's on air
Distraction is a killer, so pay attention to the road
Do yourself a favour and follow the highway code.

Being distracted long enough to change the radio station and that was enough for me to rearend my mother on my way to church. My oldest daughter was in her car. Thankfully we both had amazing insurance on the cars. It could have been a killer for sure. Nice job in my contest. Congrats.
