And for the past eight months, my "Texting While Driving Protocol" has saved both our lives.…

Texting and driving has become a tremendous epidemic in the most recent years. Texting and driving is considered to be very dangerous and causes fatal and non-fatal car accidents. This is not only an issue for teenagers, but also an issue for adults. In order to put a stop to this horrible epidemic, we should crack down on texting and driving.
