Texting and driving is so common in today’s society that it’s scary. Not only do people text and drive, but they “Facebook and drive,” Snapchat and drive,” and even tweet and drive. There is no text message in the world worth risking a life over. The people who are texting you should also understand this. I love that more cars being built today are coming with wireless Bluetooth capabilities, that way drivers won’t have to move a muscle off of the wheel.
To be completely honest, I do not have any messages in my phone from when I have been texting and driving. I even went through all of my text messages pondering on where I was when I sent them. No text message is worth risking your life, whoever maybe in the car with you, and other drivers on the streets. There may be some instances of me opening Snapchat messages from friends while I was waiting at the traffic light. Ever since that night I came face to face with those gleaming eyes I took a vow from then, never to pick up a phone while I was driving again. Texting and driving is very popular in the 18-24-year-old age group because we love taking risk. We also feel that we are invincible, so for example that an accident won’t happen to us. Things have to happen to this age group in order for them to believe it. Once, my accident happened to me I can proudly say I have never picked up a cellular device while driving since. But, this does not need to be the scenario per say because every accident may not be a finder binder as mine was.
