Texting while Driving
I had the opportunity to watch the "No Phone Zone" show on Oprah a while back. Stunning, Scary, and downright dangerous! I felt so sorry for the parents, spouses, families that lost loved ones due to the carelessness of another driver who was texting (or talking) while driving. It still brings goosebumps to me even now.
I was talking about this a while back with some fellow yogi's, and I relayed a story to them.
I was driving home from yoga, calling my husband to tell him I was on my way home. In the process of talking to him, I had to cross a two-lane highway and a set of railroad tracks. I do not remember doing either, until I heard the train whistle blowing as it passed right behind me - after I had crossed the tracks not moments before.
Yeah. Enough said.
If you haven't already discovered, texting while driving is dangerous.....not only to your life, but the lives of others on the road with you. Talking on the cell phone is equally dangerous - as your mind is distracted from the road; your focus is on the conversation rather than the road and your surroundings.
I urge everyone to rethink their use of cell phones while driving.
Don't tempt fate, that text (or call) can wait - Oprah "No Phone Zone" pledge.
