My Mission

If I were in a position to address some issue that is important to me, I would address the dangers of texting while driving. I know a few people who do this and am scared to be in the car with them. The second they start to text on their phone they are no longer looking at the road and they will start to swerve, or veer to one side, making the driver more likely to get into an accident.

Texting while driving is becoming the new DUI. A story or column talking about people who have lost loved ones due to "texting accidents" can help to make the issue known and inspire people to do something about it.
