text: The most important thing about driving is not only keeping yourself safe but the passengers as well. They trust you to take them to their destination safely and to be focused at all times. Texting and driving could result in some bad incidents. Not only could you be killed or injured but you have the potential to trade an innocent life for your small but impactful decision. This can result in jail time as well seeing that you risked someone's life to send a text message. Think about the family. How do you think they'd feel if you put their loved ones in danger for something so minimal. That's why you need to look into the future and think about the long term effects of your decisions.
