Some accidents are caused by dangerous driving, car malfunction and more.
One of the most common causes nowadays is lack of attention to the road. We all multi-task. There are advantages to it at times, but at other times it can be deadly. I'm always a passenger, which is how I can take these photos from a moving car.
Recently a very good short movie was produced showing the dangers of using your cell/smart phone while driving. How can one concentrate on the road and other vehicles when he or she is searching for a number or letter on the phone? Mistakes, lack of concentration that lasts less than a second can be fatal or cause serious injury.
The phone call or message can wait until after driving, or it may be too late G-d forbid.
PS One of the stars is my good friend Sharon Katz of Voices Magazine.
Batya, the clip has had tremendous positive feedback. A few friends whom I bumped into in the past two days have told me that they picked up their phone to write texts, and then thought for a second, and put it down.
ReplyDeleteI guess the message comes through, and that might actually help save lives.
Sharon, G-d willing it will continue to help people control themselves and remember that driving is a full-time occupation.
