Opinion: If You Are Going to Drive Distracted, Don't Drive At All

Distracted driving, it is something that every driver has seen before. The woman putting on her make-up at the red light unaware that it has turned green. The man shaving because he realized he was late for work. The person eating a breakfast sandwich behind the wheel oblivious to their surroundings. The person on the phone talking away and not paying attention. There is one thing that all these people have in common, the loud blaring of horns from behind them if they do not go when that light turns green.

I’m sure you also see this every day, the people who are in so much of a rush to get where they are going that they become a danger to people around them. Those people that time the lights so they can beat you to the turn. The potential collisions that happen all the time because two people are both trying to go the same direction at the same time.
