Pledge To Not Text And Drive
English: A sign that states “No Texting While Driving” in West University Place, Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
So many of us have done it. We hear that ding on our phones and we’re like Pavlov’s dogs…we feel like we have to check it. If we feel that strongly, maybe we need to pull over to do so. There’s been so many unnecessary deaths due to texting and driving. Today is a day to pledge to not text and drive. Are you in? I am. There is no text worth my life. I am not that important where something is going to fall apart if I don’t answer a text within seconds. Neither are you. If you really need to get in touch with me, call me. I can talk and drive at the same time. If it is important enough, you can tell me to pull over.

Hey Chicky, are you a fellow Texan?
No, I’m from NC. I just feel strongly about the texting thing. So many lives lost when we could wait a couple of minutes for useless texts.
So true. It was ironic that you posted about that yesterday, I saw several things on TV and the news about it yesterday too.
I think a lot of people across the country are use the date to make the pledge. I saw a commercial and thought it was very appropriate.
