Message from me, Darl, for everyone out there, especially parents with kids. PLEASE STOP USING YOUR CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING. Just dont do it, decide from now on youre not going to do it, its that easy. Im t just talking about not texting and driving, its also about stopping talking on the phone while driving (even if you have a hands free kit, you still have to take your eye off the road to look down at the phone to find the number in your contacts etc.). Cell phone use by drivers is becoming a bigger killer on our roads that drinking & driving. Make a decision to stop, to change. Do it today. The reality is if someone cant reach you for the time you are in your car its ok, they can wait or call someone else for help. Being unavailable for a while is FAR BETTER than being dead, injured or responsible for an accident. This challenge to change is especially for those people who think theyre good drivers and believe nothing will happen to them. Think it over. Stop even if just to be an example to your kids. None of us want our kids driven by people who drink and drive or to drive with people who are partly focused on their phones and partly on the road. Be an example, especially to teenage kids who are or will be driving or be driven by other youngsters soon. I stopped using my cell phone as a driver completely from 1 Jan 2015; its been surprisingly easy to do. It was simply a decision. I spend a lot of time in cars both at home and when travelling. I used to use every spare minute while driving to return or make calls and was constantly texting. This simple decision has had an amazing spin off effect I hadnt anticipated...it has slowed my life down in a very natural way. Its great to have this extra time of quiet to rest your brain and also to plan, pray, listen to music and speak more to people travelling with me. Dont wait until a situation where you say I wish I had, rather just decide to do it today. Preach over :) .
