Quote From: bjbuterfliDistractions, texting, dialing, answering, cell phones. Changing CD's, radio stations, eating, digging in your purse for something. READING. I have seen all and more. I am a driving instructor, teaching mostly teenagers. In my state a driver on a permit can not use their cell phone while they are driving. But like all adults as soon as they get their license they can. Our teenagers model after their parents. So do you use your phone? then why won't your teen.
A few months back we lost a teenage girl. Had her license for just over a month. The phone records show she hit send 30 seconds before she crashed into the back of a large dump truck. Killed her instantly. There was no sign that she ever even hit the brakes. Chances are she never even saw it. Sadly several other teens saw it happen.
Wake up people. If you are going to drive then drive. If you need to talk on the phone (or text) pull over.
A teenage girl in Arizona, while texting and driving, killed another young woman on the highway. The news said she also never touched the brakes, but went over the center line and drove head on into this other woman. Of course, not a scratch on her. I wonder if this is the Chelsea that Dr. Phil is talking to? If not, she definitely needs some work!
