DRIVING SAFETY RANT A preface : I dont like to be told what to do. Im usually not into situations where I need to tell other people what to do either. But seriously, texting and driving is so negligent & dangerous. Denver, especially, is busier and more crowded every year. By percentage alone, this means there are more dogs getting away from their owners, toddlers wriggling free of their parents, bike riders who dont know the rules about riding on the street. There are more obstacles for everyone. There are more people who cant merge into the proper lane because their adjacent driver is distracted. There are more hiccups. If nothing else, think of how your conversations suffer because of youre divided attention. Youll miss subtleties. Youll produce some typos. And I really dont think that whoever youre talking to wants your next message to be holy shit, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. i hit a cyclist/killed a dog/ripped the door off a car because i was deciding which emoji to send you. Turn your phone to silent while youre driving. The world will be okay without your constant connectedness for twenty minutes. Or pull over and write a really thorough message. The time it takes is nothing compared to the hours itll take to deal with a police report, nothing compared to a lifetime of guilt.
