I unfortuneatly lost a friend of mine a couple weeks ago. He was driving home one morning texting his buddy, hit the shoulder, and flipped his vehicle. Sadly he was DOA. I myself am guilty of texting while driving. I am one of those people who tend to have the mind frame of "It will never happen to me." But when it comes right down to it, is it really THAT important to respond/send a text when it may end up with you being seriously injured or worse? Ever since his accident I find I keep texting while driving to a minimum if at all. As for phone calls, I have voicemail for a reason.

I think this video should be aired, or a less graphic version, to get the point across. On a Tyra Banks episode they had a lady on the show bragging about how she can text, eat, talk on the phone and do her makeup while driving and was all giggly while talking about it. Until a mother and father spoke up and told the story how their 8 year old daughter was killed by a lady texting and driving.

Bottom line, a life is not worth a text.
