Texting and driving is dangerous, it is against the law, it can destroy lives.   They question here is, "if someone I loved was seriously injured or killed by a texting driver, would that stop me from ever texting while driving?" The answer is short and simple, I do NOT text and drive! Therefore I cannot stop something I have never done.  Although I have never been personally involved with the victim of a texting driver I have seen the pain and affliction in other's lives that is the result of texting and driving simultaneously.  It is very true that most of the time texting while driving has little to no consequence, but the few time it does the results are horrifying and have me convinced to never text while driving.  Though I cannot stop others from texting and driving I most  certainly can help those in my community who text and drive by spreading the word and being an advocate for the cause, and so can you, at any time you find yourself in a vehicle with a texting driver ask them to put it down. Protect yourself and others around you by doing so, and possibly even save lives!
