PSA: Don't Text & Drive
This is a good message I just hope it don't fall on deaf ears or blind eyes.

The PSA has been posted on several boards. For teenage drivers, young adults and their parents, I think it's a must see. The devastation caused by a few moments of inattention can be life altering, to say the least. And, it's a good way to get parents to be an example to their kids. Don't text and drive.

We can't manage to convince the vast majority of driver to not DRINK and DRIVE. What makes you think that this will be any different?

Well I'm not surprised they had women drivers...
What bothers me the most about it though is they'll reprimand you for texting/talking and driving but what about eating? or smoking? how about the radio thats a distraction to.

No way a teenaged girl was wearing a seat belt.
I don't mind texting and driving. Mainly because the teenagers who do it help me make overtime when they smack a telephone pole. Had one girl hit a pole at 70mph going into a 90degree right hand curve (like Deal's Gap sharp). She ended up living because the pole was rotted and broke right in half allowing the car to go through. But I made 5hours OT!!!

Well you don't expect doctors to like healthy patients do you???
I do get pissed off when they smack it on their way to school. That means shit work for me and no OT. Though I did enjoy getting yelled at by parents when I said "Why couldn't this dumbass hit a pole after 3:30 (we get call out/OT)?" Apparently that was their son. Don't worry he and his passengers were alive.

Texting is WAY worse... I can multi-task, but texting is way more of a distraction... your eyes have to leave the road too long...
