Texting while driving
Let me lay it out for you.
Say you are going 60 mph. If you drive across a football field, you will be in the other end zone in less than four seconds! While that doesn´t seem so bad, let´s say there´s a three year old in the other end zone. If they don´t see you coming, and you look down at your phone, all it takes is less than four seconds of screen time. That´s all it takes before you kill a kid, and you are off to jail.
Scary, isn´t it?
Here´s my long haiku poem:
Get off of your phone.
Stop reading Instagram posts.
Quit texting your friend.
It´s really that important?
You could kill a kid,
So let´s take some precautions.
Power off your phone.
You are better off that way.
