Distracted Drivers

We have never thought that texting and driving was a good idea and have never indulged in it ourselves, but we have been guilty of talking on the cell phone while driving. After watching Oprah today and hearing the stories of people who had lost loved ones because of accidents involving drivers talking on the cell phone or texting while driving, we decided to take a stand. We agreed that any cell phone use by the driver of our vehicles will no longer happen. So if you get voice mail more often, please leave a message and we will call you as soon as the vehicle is safely parked. Likewise, if anyone calls us while they are driving, we're going to ask them to hang up and call back when they aren't driving. There have been studies done that show that talking while driving - even hands free - is like driving drunk and texting is much worse. We encourage everyone to join us and make a committment to pay attention to driving when you are behind the wheel. No phone call is worth risking lives.
