Distracted Driving

Good morning and welcome to Sunday Blog Share. Let’s start off this new year with a look at distracted driving. .
Judi lives for the fabulous maroon Chevrolet Equinox her parents bought her for her eighteenth birthday. She’s always giving friends rides and taking off on a new adventure. She never gives a thought when picking up her phone while she’s speeding down the road, checking texts or finding the perfect song to sing to.
It doesn’t matter where Judi is driving, she must have that phone in her hand. The law against doing this doesn’t apply to her, so she believes. She’s a teen, with astral reactions. Speed limits are only suggestions. Judi can stop on a dime. She’s proven that many times.
That she’s racing past traffic, weaving in and out, doesn’t make any difference. She’s done this many times. Her SnapChat alert takes her attention from the road for several seconds as she responds to this cool guy. Judi’s only warning that her parents were right about not looking at her phone while driving is when she slams hard into a vehicle in front of her. Her first reaction is that jerk was going far too slow.
In what seems like seconds, police are all over the place. A woman keeps screaming “My baby! My baby!” Firemen are spraying water on flames while cops and paramedics struggle to open a rear door of a minivan and extract a car seat. Judi stares at the scene in horror; she clutches her phone tighter. An officer opens her door, snatches the phone from her hand and orders her to get out. All she can think of is that her life is over.

Where U @explores one teenage girl’s problems in school and how a distracted driver ruins her life. Using a phone while driving is dangerous. It doesn’t matter how good your reactions are. It doesn’t matter that you only take your eyes off the road for an instant. Put down your phone. Pay attention to the road around you. Don’t drive distracted.
