Texting While Driving – Part 6: Conclusion
July 19, 2010
How did we get through the day before cell phones? We all managed somehow, didn’t we?
We were able to drive to work without texting our spouse a reminder to pick up the kids and we somehow made it two miles down the road without texting our friends “be right there”.
At Cellino & Barnes, we believe this series of blog posts has shown the dangers of texting while driving and how quickly someone can be seriously injured and killed due to this distraction.
We ask that you educate your children, family and friends on the dangers of texting while driving. Be safe and drive responsibly.
Texting While Driving – Part 5 – How Can You Help?
July 8, 2010
Think back to the times when you’ve texted while driving. Was it to text your boss those earnings forecasts? Or maybe a meet up with friends?
We’ve essentially been conditioned, like Pavlov’s dogs, to respond to our phone’s ringing and buzzes. It’s not as though our friends can’t wait till we get home to respond to their messages, nor does it make sense to focus our cognitive abilities on giving our bosses in-depth reports while we drive.
Our addiction to staying connected everywhere has essentially created a dangerous driving environment on the roads.
So, how can you help? Starting now, educate your children, family and friends on the dangers of texting while driving. The simple habit of waiting until you’re not behind the wheel could save a life.
