Distracted driving

Distracted driving like it or not is a very real problem. From simply being annoying, to as serious as death. We are all touched in one way or another by distracted drivers. 
Most of us older drivers that pay attention as we go about 
our daily lives see this behavior every day. People sitting at the red light too long as they finish up a text. We see young girls taking selfies as they drive down the highway. This list could go on forever...its endless. 
Most of the time distracted drivers are just a pain in the ass. But, everyday all across the nation innocent people die because of selfish, self-absorbed drivers with bad habits on display. These deaths are 100 percent preventable. 
These days you are more likely to be injured or killed by a driver with a cell phone than a drunk driver. My generation would have never thought such a thing was possible. Think that it could never happen to you? Well, chances are that if it does, you may never know it did. Please put the phones down.
