madisoncellphoneI think it finally sunk in today.  I am one of those who thought you could talk on the phone while driving.  I don’t text but that sounds even more dangerous.

Oprah put out some good information today on her show and talked with many people who had lost loved ones to someone either talking or texting on the phone while driving and not paying attention.  A simple call or text could turn into a tragedy very easily.

They say that when you are on the phone while driving that you go into a tunnel vision and you can’t see around you like you can if you are not on the phone.  They even had some examples.  Check it out – especially if you are one that doesn’t believe it’s true.  I don’t believe there is any phone call that is so important that you would take a chance on injuring or killing someone.

Check out Oprah’s link.
