text: You may be wondering why my views on this subject are so harsh? It is quite simple; I have been in an accident due to distracted drivers. When I was young riding around with my mother, a distracted driver rear-ended us, taking off the bumper. The shocking part is, if my mother had slowed down even a little, I would not be here to express my concerns. I believe that all people should strive for safety when it comes to driving. As many wise elders say, "It is not the road you must fear, but the other drivers."
