I have seen way to many crosses and flower arrangements along the side of the road lately.

Sure makes one wonder.

Heads up people phones down. When i was still working it was almost daily i saw drivets crossing center line. Last yr i saw several muti car crashes due to distracted drivers. Unfortunately I've also seen law enforcement pass me on highway while on phone or computer. Several yrs ago a deputy sheriff on I-70 high rate off speed non pursuit but distract8 wound up with the cruiser inside the bed of a ford ranger. Lucky he didn't kill the driver. Drive safe guys. Your family needs you πŸ‘πŸ‘

I only wish that phones could be disabled when the engine is turned on. Only emergency capabilities enabled!

Distracted driving is just that...by phone, text, dealing with kids, lighting a cigarette [I don't smoke] If you have to take your eyes off the road, pull over! No one's life is worth those two minutes. That is all, thank you.

If and when, which isn't very often, I use my phone, I have to focus entirely on using it, or it doesn't work for me. It could be due to mechanical error, however.

When i was driving on interstate 70 between Hagerstown Md n Fredrick for many yrs i saw if stupidity to last a lifetime. Grandson attended Md school for Deaf. Saw many bad wrecks n near misses. I'd drive 70 people would pass me with books newspaper or laptop on the steering wheel. Some would pass sandwich in one hand coffee in other driving with their knees. Woman putting on make up men shaving too much to mention one night we'd just got on 70 traffic crawling. A drunk ran into the back if a rollback that was picking up a disabled car. Truck driver laying under gaurdrails on opposite side of the road in bad shape. I take back roads when i can. Drive safe n be alert brothers n sisters πŸ‘πŸ‘

What’s the difference between a drunk driver and a texting driver?

Drunk is trying to drive.

Aw heck yea. It was bad enough for bikers yrs ago. Wife had a drunk rear end her car while parked in front of her house before i met her. Since we got together I've had 2 truck mirrors broken. One in shopping center no note. Other one on narrow rd. I move over as far as i could n stopped. Jackass hit my mirror keep going. I was tow boat couldn't turn around. Since then drunk ran stop sign guy ran a red light woman turned in front of us. All significant damage. Forgot woman sideswipe my truck while wife driving. That one was on the phone. The red light one put me in neck brace for 3 months. I hate drunks n distracted drivers. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Sadly, in many cases, it’s not the one texting that meets him.
