If the toaster killed 30,000 American annually we'd all say Fix The Toaster! Car crashes are mostly preventable, we need to fix these horrible statistics.

I Guess I'm an Activist

November 15, 2013 in Most Accidents Aren't Accidents- They Are Preventable Crashes-

My husband came downstairs into our shared office and started chuckling over a post I had written, "Another uplifting post from Lindsay." I know, I know, I said.

I feel sort of ridiculous doing what I am doing but I think the fact that car crashes are such an un-talked about epidemic is more ridiculous so I'm willing to do this. To do something.

Activist makes me sound like a radical chick who doesn't shave her armpits.

In reality, I'm sitting here in my caridgan and lululemon pants trying to bust out a few posts before some of my kids come home.

I think about them being driven home and I think about the other people driving around them. And I know the facts.

Car crashes are the #1 cause of death to kids and it always bothers me.

I try not to think of the young woman I saw just yesterday smoking with one hand and holding her phone with the other, while driving!

I try not to think about the young pretty woman I saw just yesterday FACETIMING while at a stop light in Hollywood.

I suppose I am an activist now.

But I will always shave my pits.
