here from SITS!!! and just as I was linking over to you ...you left me one too! I guess great minds think alike!

I have seen accidents around here from people that are texting!
I think if we can use common sense...we would all be a lot better off!
have a great weekend new pal!

Cell phones are definitely a distraction while driving, I see folks all the time weaving, driving very slow or having near misses while on the phone. In WA state it is illegal to drive and talk.

The flowers on my new header are just some mums. The photos was taken outside Home Depot and it turned out better than expected. No photoshop or anything was used.

Cell phones are definitely a distraction but the worst is texting while driving!

It's dangerous...but the funny thing is, they've found that the most dangerous part of talking on the cell phone is the actual dialing. And since many who use Bluetooth pieces don't necessarily use voice dial, it's still dangerous to be handsfree.

I'm guilty, I do have Bluetooth and I do use voice commands, but I really can't do two things at once...drive and talk.

Who still does this? There are enough distractions while driving. Adding cellphone talking and texting to the mix equals a "could have been avoided" accident.

It should be outlawed.

Hugs and Mocha,

Thanks for stopping by my blog fellow SITSta! It's unfortunate that so many careless people have ruined cell phones for so many of us. So many accidents have been caused by texting, and recently in my state they've issued a law making it illegal to text while driving. Thank goodness!.... It was lovely to meet you! :-)
