text: If you look down to check a text message and have averted your eyes for 5 seconds while driving 60 miles per hours, you have already traveled the length of a football field. Anything could happen within those 5 seconds. While you were looking at a picture of a dog that your friend sent you, you ran a stop sign resulting in another car driving full speed to crash into you. In this scenario, two cars are destroyed, and the people inside have forever mental and physical trauma and that's only if they didn't pass due to the impact of the collision. It is very important that people know what they are getting themselves into when being a distracted driver.
