Baltimore native Jenny Isenman is a freelance writer, mom, and wife who finds the humor in everyday life. suburbanjungle.netA Chilling PSA on Texting and Driving is a Must See for Every Driver -Especially parents of teens
This video could be such an important tool. It does more than talk numbers, it shows repercussions.
Yesterday I was asked to write an article in response to the PSA after it was discussed on the Today Show. Today my article was the “Top Story” at iVillage.com.
After writing the piece my head began to spin. The horrific images, seared in my brain, highlighted the scary statistics I reported. If texting and driving equates to drinking and driving, how many “(texting) drunks” are on the road at any given time? If you knew that so many people were driving “drunk” would you want to be on the road? What’s worse is that texting and driving is not illegal the way that drinking and driving is. Sure, it’s frowned upon, but so many people do it anyway.
Even if you don’t read my “Top Story” at iVillage.com. make sure you watch the PSA and pass it on to everyone you know.
