I have seen so many near misses on the road that I have changed my behavior about a year ago. I no longer text or answer my phone when I am driving. I will only answer my phone if I have my wireless head set car with me. 😉
Yesterday, I watched someone roll into the middle of the intersection because she was looking down at her handheld device and must have taken her foot off the brake.
