don't SMS while driving

i received an email about a case concerning the consequences of " Driving while in-TEXT-icated". the 18 year-old girl was driving at 70 mph and hit a car. BADLY. Then this email also contains photos of the little boy(in the car) who had to undergo surgery for multiple skull fractures as a result of the accident. both his eyes were blue black and the stitches could even form a curve from one side of his ear to the other ear. but after 5 days he could actually move and even watch movies with his iPod. Luckily, he managed to become a normal person after some time without any disabilities.

Seeing the smile on his face was just so inspiring. it shall serve as a reminder to me when I'm driving so that i would not be like the 18 year-old girl. How would you feel if you actually cause someone's death just because you can't resist SMS-ing? For me, I think i would feel guilty for the rest of my life. SMS-ing while driving only puts yourself and other road users at danger. If you yourself got injured or badly damaged because of your action, you have no one to blame but yourself cos' you have to face the consequences of your reckless action. but wouldn't it be unfair for others to lose their lives because of you? while accidents due to poor road and weather conditions something you cannot avoid, choosing not to SMS while driving is definitely something you can CONTROL.



There's one more thing which all of us can control while driving- SPEED. we young drivers tend to have this ego issue when we drive like the " syiok feeling" after we potong a car etc.. i admit i had this feeling before but not anymore now. Why do we have to drive so fast? What will you lose if you drive a little slower? you can still reach your destination at last. So people, drive at a moderate speed and let other drivers potong you especially when you have friends with you in your car..their lives are in your control.. One more important advise that my mum always tells me is " Never Hesitate when You Drive".

Stay FOCUS while Driving
