The headline from a Tweet I just saw said, "New Moms Among the Most Distracted Drivers."(CBS NEW YORK)
Only 4 re-tweets.
I am a parent in a time of deep paranoia. I don't have to tell you that parents are worried. Probably too much right now. There is a lot of talk amongst my circle of moms about getting into the right school, after school activities, making sure our kids get ahead.
But what about just getting our kids there safely via the automobile?
Yesterday I saw a mom driving on her minivan talking on her phone.
It made me angry. Obviously she had kids in the car. Does she not know that talking on your phone increases your chances of being in a car crash by a lot?!
Maybe she doesn't know that car crashes are the leading cause of death to people under the age of 25.
Let's channel some of our modern paranoia into preventing car crashes and saving beautiful lives.
