Put that phone away

A family was on a recent show on Oprah that lost their daughter to a driver who was carelessly driving and talking on her phone.

This article just emphasizes the consequences of not paying attention on the road. The Forney family lost their oldest daughter of 13 years of age to a careless driver who was using her phone and "didn't see her". The driver was given a fine of 300 dollars, two years probation, and 150 hours of community service, which i dont see as enough as compensation for a daughter.

This happened in Colorado where phones are still legally allowed while driving and this Oprah show just emphasizes the need to change the law in the remaining states.

So just text that special someone when you are done with that five minute drive instead of during. It is a law in our state for a reason!
