Driver's Ed

Hi everyone! I would really like to bring something important to everybody's attention. Today I had my first day of Driver's Ed. I started with a theory class and then moved onto driving. In my theory class we spent a majority of the time talking about crashes. (Probably to scare us into safe driving.) Many of the crashes were caused by drunk driving and texting while driving--meaning each of these accidents could have been prevented. While in the car, I found myself nervous to even glance at the mirrors, because I did not want to take my eyes off of the road. As I returned to the back seat when my turn was over, I thought about how difficult it might be to text and drive, based on the fact that I hardly wanted to take my hands off the wheel to push hair out of my face. Driving takes A LOT of attention and it is easy to make mistakes, so all of your focus should be on the road and NOT on your phone. There are new and nervous drivers on the road as well who should not have to suffer any consequences from a mistake another driver made. Stay safe and off your phones!! (Tell your kids :))
