Dont talk on your phone while driving...

While driving to work the other morning I heard a tragic story in the Uk about a truck driver that was busy playing poker on his cell phone while driving, what he didn't anticipate was the fact that there was road works in progress and the traffic had come to a stop! He proceeded to collide into the back of the car in front of him and then into the car in front of him. The result was one person dying from the incident...

I proceeded to tell my in laws about this and asked if they had seen or heard about it? I was them informed that Oprah was busy doing a "no phone on the road campaign"... I very quickly lashed out and said she should rather do something useful and have a "no killing of unborn baby campaign".

Then I started thinking about the issue, now I don't want to say that people dying on the road because of negligence is ok... But its so much easier to not to use your cell on the road, instead of fighting for the rights of the unborn!

I want to start my own campaign... Don't think it will be as effective as the one Oprah has but I am willing to give it a try. We had some posters (from our pro life week we had last year) that I will add to this post later for you to download and stick on your car to try and make a difference.

And its still against the law to drive and talk on your cell at the same time in SA
