If you are like me then you have done it, "TEXTING WHILE DRIVING" ... well I am reformed. Or even better yet I am recovering. I know to pull over and give my attention to texting or put the phone away and focus on driving. My daughter is headed toward a career in FILM at the film school at Montana State in Bozeman ... she has a real talent. Check out her entry ... If you are so inclined vote her 5 stars on the lawyers regional site as well. As a proud father I thank you.

BUT IN ANY CASE WATCH THE POWER OF THE VIDEO AND THE TALENT OF SOMEONE UP AND COMING. AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Scott, Thanks to Janna's re-blog I saw your post. Texting and driving, like drinking and driving, a deadly mixture. A powerful video. Do you have a link to vote? I wish your daughter all the best.

Re-blogging.

Thanks. Gloria

Hi Scott - I always hear people say that no one ever gets a ticket for it, even if it is illegal here in California to talk on your cell phone or text while driving (Talking is okay if you have a hands free setup). Well, last week, Sacramento put up signs all over town reminding people that it costs a lot of money if you are caught and it's just not worth it (not to mention the danger to yourself and others).

In one week they ticketed 221 people, and while those folks were probably grumpy about it, their lives and the lives of others may have been saved. Maybe they will stop doing it now? I hope so.
