Don’t text and drive.
A few days ago I was a VICTIM of modern technology and a person that I would consider to be a terrible driver.
I’m on my way to take care of a few things before I head home and enjoy one of the few sunny days that we’ve had here this year.
I’m not sure what song was playing on the radio but I know that I was feeling it.
While I’m sitting at a light I happen to look up and notice that a woman is texting on her cell phone and the thought, “terrible ass driver” pops into my head.
Traffic then moves one car length and before I could step on my brake I hear slamming of brakes, a crash and then my head makes a thud sound against my head rest.
By far the fastest second that I have ever experienced in my life.
My first thought was, “I know that just didn’t happen”.
I look in my rear view and I see the woman that was texting before laying down with her face planted into the steering wheel.
I didn’t see her move so I jumped out of my car to see if she was ok.
A witness then helped me push her car to the side of the road because she totaled her car into the back of me.
The police came and did what they needed to while I tried to make sure that this lady was able to make it home.
After a few hours of seeing how my body would feel I decided to go to an emergency room.
There I found out that I’ve got a spot on my back that makes my body do involuntary movements, I explained to them this pain in my forehead and they gave me some meds (which aren’t working).
Oh yea, my right leg hurts.
I’m saying all that to say this to the people that text, read, talk while driving:
Don’t do it, innocent people (including you) can get hurt by one miscalculation.
