BUT...I ONLY LOOKED AWAY FOR A MOMENT! WARNING! The video attached is graphic. But the subject matter is all too real. There has been an outcry in America and around the world about texting while driving...and rightfully so. But we should never forget that is only ONE OF MANY causes for distractions while driving. Each second you are distracted, you may be about to kill yourself or others. Driving is not a RIGHT. It is a privilege. More than that. It is a choice. You either choose to drive responsibly, or you dont. It is a choice you must make every second behind the wheel... PLEASE FOCUS ON DRIVING WHEN YOU ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL. PLEASE HELP THE DRIVER FOCUS ON DRIVING WHEN YOU ARE NOT BEHIND THE WHEEL. IF YOU ARE NEAR A HIGHWAY/STREET YOU ARE IN A DANGER ZONE...STAY ALERT! THE LIFE YOU SAVE, MAY BE YOUR OWN...OR SOMEONES MOTHER, FATHER, SISTER, BROTHER, HUSBAND, WIFE... EVERY ACCIDENT HAS ONE TO MANY CAUSES. THE GREAT MAJORITY OF ACCIDENTS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED! Road deaths in the USA rose 5.3% last year to 34,080, the first year-over-year increase in traffic fatalities since 2005, according to preliminary estimates today from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The jump had been widely expected as more people are taking to the roadways as the economy improves. Preliminary data from the Federal Highway Administration shows that vehicle miles traveled in 2012 increased by 9.1 billion miles — a 0.3% rise. The fatality rate — which is number of deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled — is projected to rise to 1.16 from 1.10. Road deaths had steadily decreased each year since 2005, dropping by about 26% from 2005 to 2011, when 32,367 people died on the nations roads. Crash fatalities were up for every quarter of 2012 compared with 2011, the NHTSA says. more-->> usatoday/story/news/nation/2013/05/03/us-highway-road-deaths-increase/2132457/
