Take the pledge - Don't text and drive
I was browsing through my Facebook news feed, and this image caught my eye. My friend who posted the item had commented, "definitely taking the pledge". I had to click the link.
The video that followed started out on a high note with a proud mother glancing back at her smiling son, but I was waiting for the other shoe to drop...
Is that powerful, or what? I must admit that I am not very good about ignoring my phone when I drive. Maybe it is part of the job I do with social media and SunSentinel.com. Maybe it is the fact that more of my friends talk via Facebook than over the phone. Whatever the reason, I am definitely making a point to take this pledge and be a safer driver.
