Good morning everyone! :sun:
Over the weekend I was talking with my new neighbor. She mentioned that her mother was in a car accident and taken by ambulance to the ER. She sustained a neck injury but is otherwise alright. It was an eighteen year old girl who rear ended her going about 30 miles an hour. The police determined that she was texting during the time of the accident. I also remember reading on Yahoo about that 22 year old guy who was killed in Greeley, Colorado due to texting. He drifted off the road, swerved and rolled his car narrowly missing oncoming traffic.
I am so furious about people of all ages texting and driving. I worry about mine and my families safety every time we have to be on the roads. I think there should be extremely strict laws in place against this. I feel that texting and driving is just as bad as drinking and driving. I think it should be treated the same as drinking and driving, a felony or misdemeanor. :nod: And the proof is in the phone records. You can't hide it.
What do you think? Should texting/driving be labeled a DUI-CP (driving under the influence of cell phone) with the same penalties as a DUI?
