After some close calls on the road and researching some statistics, I’ve completely changed my outlook on distracted driving. The news stories are devastating to see but it’s seeing other individuals on the roadways, both friends and strangers, making near-fatal mistakes while texting or updating their Twitter feed that continues to drive the point home. My phone now remains in my pocket or on my charger while I’m driving and I’ve happily become “that guy” who asks people to put their phones down while driving as well.
