as u may know...

As some of you may know, my sister of only 15 yrs old was killed back in november of this past year, due to a careless driver whom was texting while driving, and was also talking on the phone as well. I have been and will continue to be an advocate for cell-free driving. NOT jsut text free, but CELL-free completely. I have had several friends of mine on facebook sign up to be as well, YET--i am constantly seeing alot of them, drving and talking on their phone. I guess, if you're not going to do it, dont say you are. its very frustrating.

ALot of you may think that using a headset or bluetooth, is ok too. Its not. It is all still a distraction. Im sorry but * DONT TEMPT FATE, THAT CALL OR TEXT CAN WAIT *. I guess to each his own, but still, dont say something if you are not willing to stick by it. It is a habit, yes i know. I have caught my self ONE time talking otp while driving..i drove 5 feet, then stopped IMMEDIATELY. Lets think about this...

I, myself--LOVE to watch 24, or the mentalist, among some others.. now if i get a phone call while watching something i reallllyyyy wanna watch like those previous shows mentioned, I cant do it. Meaning: I dont have the concentration to do so. This is the same with driving. So, do me a favor...the next time you are driving, think about this. I am not picking on anyone, just merely pointing something out.

Have a wonderful day! until next time...

  1. All people reading this really really need to listen and understand what Melissa is trying to do. To some people she may sound like she is wanting to take away your phone privileges away. Thats not the case. Just to take them away while driving. The sound she is making just might save your life, someone else's life, or the life of a family member. Which she, yes her self, has to suffer because of the loss of her sister. Melissa I have held to my word and have not used my phone while driving sence you first got ahold of me and told me your story. I hope more people and friends wake up and hear you and decide that 30 secs of talking or 1 txt isn't worth a life. Very proud of you!
