On Saving Lives

I once got pulled over for texting and driving. The officer told me that per AZ state law, he couldn't give me a ticket for that, but just the day before he had seen a mother and kids killed in a car accident. Cause of the crash? Texting and driving. The officer was very emotional while telling me about this. I told him i was sorry, and I've been trying really hard to not text and drive but had an important reason today. He gave me a VERY stern lecture (like an outright scolding!) and told me i must be perfect at this EVERY single time i get in the car. It's not just my life, what if I'm the one who crashes into a mother and children? It was a lecture I'll never forget. Just saw this video and it brought the whole experience back. Let's all take the pledge, there's no text that's worth losing lives. If it helps, use an auto response app on your phone to let callers and texters know you are driving. Please share this video and your thoughts with those you love. #takethepledge #justdrive #savelives
