Do you Text and drive?

(excuse me ahead of time for being a little harsh...but I'm not apologizing for speaking the truth!)


Can I just rant for a minute? Awesome. I was think about texting and driving...or being on the phone and driving. Actually about doing anything whilst driving other than driving. After much thought, I've come to the conclusion that it's just plain stupid. And when I say stupid I really mean it's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a human being do...ever. Seriously, WHY on earth would anyone even WANT to text while driving??? Let me just explain myself further. When your texting or doing anything else completely idiotic behind the wheel, your clearly not giving your full attention to the road. Hey, if you want to kill yourself why not jump off a bridge or pull the trigger on a gun? A little harsh? not at all. Seriously, do you not understand that the things your sitting in weighs over a ton? Not only that, there are literally thousands of other vehicles on the road that are trying to get to a destination, most likely without dying. So why would anyone be selfish enough to take the chance of killing someone to have a conversation that can realistically can wait for 15 minutes. There seriously better be blood or death happening on the other end of that line if your talking on the phone whilst driving!

 If they cant wait...or you can;t wait then maybe go ahead and work on your patience. Seriously. If your not patient enough to wait to talk to someone for the duration of a car ride, then your clearly not patient enough to be behind the wheel in the first place. Like I said before, maybe you have complete disregard for your own life, but other people on the road don't deserve to be injured because your an idiot. It's definitely not socially excepted to drink and drive anymore. Why? Because we started to understand that it's really freaking stupid. How is texting and driving any different? Plain and simple, your not paying attention.

Not only that, picture it this way. If your a parent, would you give your child the OK to get in the car with a friend with the knowledge that they won't make it back home to you because they were gonna  go ahead and be an idiot? Probably not. You would simply not let that child go to where they were going because you don't want to just give your child's life away. If your not willing to do that, then why would you be willing to text and drive yourself? Are you not presenting yourself with the opportunity to run into another vehicle on the road...a vehicle that contains someone else's child? Even if your not a parent, you wouldn't be OK with giving away your best friend would you? This isn't some deep thought out piece of life wisdom here...it's a simple observation. Please just consider the next guy on the road before you decide you want to be an idiot. :)
