texting while driving... we have been hearing ALOT about it on the news and reading about it in the paper. The statistics are scary but we still do it. We do it because we think we are 'saving time' or 'I am safe about it', however that is just not true. Some things are much more important that 'saving time' and no matter how careful we are- we could just as easily be one of the statistics.
I was 'blog-hopping' and saw that Nathans basketball coach has a blog that he has designed for his basketball team called Bulldog Basketball and he recently posted to his players about the dangers of texting and driving. Nathan and I watched the youtube video that he posted and WOW! talk about a good wake-up call.
Please, if you text or chat on your phone while driving, take the 4 minutes to watch the video(just click on his link and look at his For the safety of this family link.
I also found this one that I thought was pretty powerful too. Texting and Driving.
Nathan and I have decided to make a conscious effort to stop texting when driving and using our head sets if we are talking on the phone...its for our safety and those around us. As of today no more texting and driving- maybe that could go for all of us?
Since we moved to Okinawa we have had to stop using cell phones while driving-it's illegal there and incurs a pretty steep fine. I was shocked when I came home and saw how much people text while driving-it is terrifying! Kudos to the coach for passing the info on.
