With gas prices hovering around $4.00 per gallon (as of the date of this posting) a lot of us have taken the money saving step of using public transportation. One of the consequences of riding the bus for me has been that because I'm sitting at a higher elevation when riding than driving, I've been able to observe more and more people foolishly "texting" while driving. I knew there was a problem with some young people engaging in this childish irresponsible behavior. I did not realize how many "adults" do the same thing.
These pictures were taken at a local Auto Repair Garage. Truthfully, I don't know if this car was in an accident that was the result of "texting". But given the severity of the damage, I thought it a good idea to use the photos while making my point about this unsafe (and decidedly immature) practice.
No text message is worth this. Someone's Son, Daughter, Wife, Husband, Girl Friend, Boy Friend, or Grand Parent was in this wreck. To borrow a phrase from Mr. T, "I pity the fool", who harms my little grand daughter in a car wreck because they thought sending a text message was more important than her safety.
