Put Down The Phone And Drive


So we have all looked over and seen the person in the car next to us cruising at 60 mph, steering with their knee, and texting on their cell phone at the same time...Maybe you've even been guilty of this yourself... heck just this weekend more than once I saw teeny bopper girls riding their bikes one handed thru traffic while texting. And probably the craziest thing yet is to see someone on a motorcycle talking on their cell!
This pic is a prime example of what can happen when your phone is a distraction...
A tow truck driver in New York was juggling not one but TWO phones, he was texting on one and talking on the other. He wasn't paying attention and hit a parked car and then crashed his tow truck into someones swimming pool.
I wonder if he has an available phone to call for a tow truck?
Lesson in this blog... Hang up and drive!!
