100% Preventable

I just finished watching a show on the effects of texting behind the wheel.
Oh my God. I am lucky.

Did you know that when you're text messaging or talking on the cell phone, the crash risk goes up to eight times!

Check this out...this is the view of an undistracted driver

Driving Without Distractions - what a focused driver sees

Now check out the view when the driver is talking on the cell phone,

Driving With Distractions - Suffering from Inattention blindness; half of all info is removed

 
I've always "commented" on my husband's driving ability, while he's on the BB. He misses exists, he does not concentrate on streets to name a few. And all along, I've been too stupid to think I am in control while driving and talking on the BB. That I am a "great multi-tasker".In celebration of the year of change, I pledge NOT to text anymore. I pledge to make my car a no phone zone and save my life.

So if you decide to call me next time, and I don't answer, please remember that I am not going to tempt faith because I know That TXT or CALL can W8.
