"Drinking and driving don't mix." Have you ever heard that one before? Most people have. Well, now it's time for a new one, "Texting and driving don't mix." What will it take for people to stop trying to read and send text messages while they're driving? Does MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) need to reinvent itself and become MADDD (Mothers Against Drunk and Distracted Driving)? And how MADD do they have to become before young people -- and some older ones, too, I know -- realize that your chances of getting into an accident when you're texting and driving are considerably greater than your chances of getting into an accident when you're driving under the influence of alcohol? You shouldn't do either, but taking your eyes off the road prevents you from even attempting to avoid an accident because you have no clue what's coming until it hits you.
I think AT&T should be commended for making this video. May God bless who those who chose to share their stories, and may He rest the souls of those who lost their lives.
