Don’t text and drive
I want to share a different perspective on texting and driving as our state transportation
officials have been doing a lot of marketing on this safety issue lately.
I ride a bike for exercise and leisure. The other day I was anxious as several motorists
passed me going about 55 mph with their cell phones in hand. I typically ride where there is
a shoulder, in order to have a little bit of cushion but was unable to do that on that particular
route. It would have taken drivers just one brief look at Facebook or a text or answering a
phone to carelessly hit me.
I ride with traffic — as legally required — so I’m not going to see motorists coming. I take
responsibility as a bike rider. I keep myself alert, but I need motorists’ help to ensure road
safety. Runners, walkers and bikers are out at all hours of the day. Not texting while driving
might not only prevent an accident with another car but could also prevent one with a
pedestrian or cyclist.
When I leave my house on a ride, I want to return to my family — and not become a deadly
statistic. Don’t text and drive. It’s not worth it.
Pam McKown, Hewitt
People not only are texting while driving, some are also watching films and playing games
on all types of devices while driving.
If your vehicle breaks down, stay safe by putting on your flashing lights, open your hood and
trunk, and stand back from the vehicle while awaiting help. Stay safe, and be a defensive
driver in these unsafe road times.
Billy Durham, Plainview
