Has someone ever scared the living hell out of you when you"re driving by almost running you off of the road? Well I hate to tell you but it's probably someone just like me who is using a cell phone, eating, or even trying to read. People like me don't even care about surrounding cars. For some reason it is easier to do things like eating in the car because it saves a lot of time, I guess.
For example, every morning I"m in a rush because I wake up late, so the easiest thing to do is eat my breakfast in the car. I even notice others putting on makeup in the car which usually takes two hands, which should be on the wheel. Mirrors in the car are supposed to be used as looking at cars around you not yourself. People just think that it is alright to drive recklessly as long as they look nice or feed themselves. I think that this is a very serious issue and most accidents do happen because of this. Even after we see some horrible wrecks we just keep on doing what we have to do. .
On the news every once in a while I hear about cell phones and how dangerous it is to talk on them while driving, and yes it is dangerous, but what about the other things we do in cars that needs to be addressed to. Cell phones, although helpful to us when in an emergency, are used way to often in a car. When on a cell phone we have at least one hand free, but then I think about when I eat and I have no hands free and I use my knee to drive. Others and I need to start thinking of others when we do these things and put an end to it. .
Worst of all when these things happen at the same time; eating, people honking at us, and then a cell phone ringing , and trying to turn the radio down. These could all build up to a point of insane road rage. No wonder we are always getting into accidents. We try to blame it on the car, others, or the weather conditions, but in reality it is us not caring. .
The point is that we need to stop what were doing and focus on driving while in an automobile.
