Because of people, like the one pictured above, more people are getting into car accidents and it is a serious problem. Having come so close to getting in car accidents myself, because of people talking on their phones or just not paying attention, it is a very scary situation. Most deaths in the United States are caused by car accidents. I am guilty of checking my phone at a red light, but I do not dare text while driving because I know the consequences of what could happen if I do. Sending that one text can wait compared to losing your life over it. Just recently a former classmate of mine from high school passed away due to a car accident. I am not fully aware of how the accident was cause, but the two highest causes of car accidents are distracted and or reckless driving. If every person could just wait to check that text until they are safely parked or just paid that ounce more of attention there would be fewer accidents and fewer lives would be taken away at such an early age.

Unassigned Entry #4 Cars: Transportation not Toys
Lately, on average, I have been doing more driving than I normally do. I know I have only been driving almost two years, but I feel as though I am a good driver. I am very cautious and I know all of the rules of the road, but I can not speak for others. In the past week I have seen four car crash after maths, I witnessed and additional two car crashes, and I have almost gotten into three car accidents due to distracted drivers and reckless drivers. I never used to be scared of driving, but lately it is a fear I am having. Because of people, like the one pictured above, more people are getting into car accidents and it is a serious problem.

Oh my, what a GREAT topic to choose from. I see this so often while traveling down the road. I think I notice the most when I am a passenger. I was raised to hang up the phone and drive, and if you can’t use both hands on the wheel, you are doing something wrong! Love the thought you put into helping other identifying a trending problem with our society.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we are in a hurry and in this way with jeopardize our own lives, we think that check our cell phone, make us save time, but it is very dangerous. It is better be focus on our driving, in order to avoid problems. I liked your post, and most of all it is very helpful, because it talks about a problem often ignored.
