Texting and Driving

Today I was driving home from work and got a text from my friend. Lately I've been trying really really hard not to text and drive, but for some reason I felt the need to respond to a not-so-important text. It's raining out and obviously I didn't take that into account while texting. I swirved and came SO CLOSE to hitting a telephone pole that I swear I saw my life flash before me... well not really but you get how close of a call it was. PLEASE do not text and drive. It's not worth using your life or someone elses to respond to a text that said 'hey whats up'. I know too many people that are guilty of this, including my parents and other relatives. I am going to start to make a concious effort to not text, or even talk on the phone while driving for the matter. Trust me, it's NOT worth it!!
