I can't tell you how many times I have talked on my phone while driving. I get bored and decided to call someone to chat for a couple of minutes. I have one thing I need to tell someone. It will just take a minute. I call to make dinner plans with friends. The traffic isn't bad. I'm careful. I'm aware. I don't text and drive. But, it just takes that one mistake to change your life forever.
Kristin's blog changed my mind. Even knowing her story, I still thought the distraction of the phone was something I could deal with - like I said, I'm a good driver. Revisiting her story changed my mind. Please take some time to read her story and take the pledge. I want all of us to be around for a long time.
