It took me awhile to find someone who would openly admit in their blog that they text while driving and have no intention to stop. Kevin Maney tells in a blog found on www.portfolio.com, how texting is no more a big deal then eating while driving, scolding your kids while driving or putting on makeup while driving so why make it illegal? He admits that even if it was illegal he would do it anyway as it would be hard for a police officer to enforce without staring into your car window. He states that he does his texting responsibly only doing it at red lights and dead-stop traffic. He dreams of the day Mercedes comes out with a keypad mounted on the steering wheel so he can text all day long. This is the perfect example of someone that feels they are above the statistics and nothing bad could ever happen to them. If he texts someone at a red light, is he not going to be curious to check their response after the light’s turned green? In my research it seems to me that people who text and drive think they have some kind of great multi-tasking ability that is superior to the average person. They do not realize how much they are missing on the road (a child who’s ball rolls into the road for example) until it is too late. You have to weigh the risks and consequences. Is it really that important to check your phone knowing you could possibly injure yourself or someone else? It happens everyday, but not to you right? Tell that to your victim’s mother. For those of you that must text and drive check out the info below.
