Don’t Text and Drive

Technology today allows anyone to contact you at any time, and for you to reach right back.  But sometimes, that’s not a smart idea.  And it turns out that not only can your cell phone distract you from proper driving, it can be the highest danger to you while you drive. A recent test by Car and Driver magazine tested the reaction times of drivers to a light on the dash that notified them when to stop.  They tested undistracted drivers, drivers who were legally drunk, drivers reading an email, and drivers sending a text.  It turns those last two are the worst.  That’s right, trying to read an email or send a text caused reaction times worse than drunk drivers.  So please, for the safety of you and your family, just put the phone down until you get where you’re going.
