I agree M, giving kids a first hand experience of the aftermath from texting and driving could be a good deterrent.
As for listening to parents, Mother once caught me texting while driving her to the asda. I had my phone between my legs and was texting whilst parked at a red light (just a quick be back in 5 text) but needless to say I didnt do it again after she made me pull over and also give me a grade one tirade of abuse (and to think I use to kiss that mouth as a child
) she walked the rest of the way and got a taxi home, the shame was enough to never do it again
Using a phone while in control of a car is absolutely wrong. I put mine on silent now and leave it in my pocket. There's nothing that can't wait until I get to my destination. Personally,It's too much of a temptation and a distraction otherwise.
How did your generation cope with not being able to transmit messages before the advent of the mobile phone M?
