Still Texting And Driving? Watch This! [VIDEO]

We all know texting and driving is a no no. But some people still do it. Here is a powerful video that everyone should watch. 

I know it can be hard to resist the temptation of picking up your phone and texting, but it's even harder to recover from an accident or even worse not recover from an accident.

Here are some interesting facts about texting and driving from DoSomething.org:

-  5 seconds is the minimal amount of attention that a driver who texts takes away from the road. If traveling at 55 mph, this equals driving the length of a football field without looking at the road.
