Texting While Driving

such a contemptible situation
a beautiful girl is dead
her friend texted while driving

mothers totally hating each other
two girls lives ruined now
one an angel of course

Caren, 'such a contemptible situation ~~ a beautiful girl is dead' Madness in a modern world, our gadgets were meant to help. My cars are driven as conveyance, not an extension of an office. No odd attachments to my windshield or dash.., no distracting displays. I do this as a courtesy to the other motorists. But I wish it were the law if only for the sake of your poem's sad message. -Richard

I cannot believe it when I see a person i their car looking at their phone, pushing buttons instead of DRIVING! Do they not UNDERSTAND how close this puts them to death?

Its so tragic Caren, there's no excuse with Bluetooth and other hands free gadgets available now. Its just as bad as drink driving in my opinion. Tom
