Stop Driving & Talking On Your Cell Phone!

You are walking to the grocery store, with you child in a stroller. Suddenly, out of know where a person who is talking on the cell phone almost hits you and your child. Your heart beats fast and you almost don't know what to do.

This is what happen to me the other day. I was walking and a man came less the an inch to hitting my stroller. I was thinking what if he did not have good breaks, would my children and I still be alive? In the state of Washington cell phone use while driving is illegal but, people still do it any way. The other day while walking near Kent Meridian High School I counted how many people where using cell phones. There was a whopping 23 people on cell phones. I was counting for about 5 minutes.

I know one thing for sure. When someone calls my cell phone and I am driving I will not answer it because, I do not want to put other peoples life in danger. I also know that when I am talking on the phone it is harder for my to focus one what I am doing.

Do more and more people have to die to relize how dangerous this is?
