Driving me Crazy

Driving. It seems like a lifetime ago that cars were first invented. From 1885, to the modern day, cars were rolled out of factories, for people to use, to get from point A to point B. Unfortunately, over the course of a couple hundred years, maybe even a few thousand, depending if this blog lasts long enough, some of us still haven't evolved enough to know when you're focusing on the road ahead, or if you're getting hopelessly distracted by their phone, or applying makeup to their face, or eating something while driving.

Of course, no matter how much technology is installed into the newer models of cars. From cruise control to hands-free connectivity so we can talk to others while needing to use the phone. From cars that can park themselves to cars that have an auto-brake sensitivity thing, which automatically brakes if we get distracted. No matter what technology is added to the cars, it seems as though nothing can stop accidents like this from happening:

Is this really what example we're setting for future generations? Kids that can get, and might be, easily distracted, long enough for an accident to happen. Take a look at this ad. It's saying what parents already knew, but aren 't taking seriously enough; kids learn their parents' habbits, especially when driving:

Ads like this, and the ads from the TAC might be a little bit scary, but they're a glimpse into other drivers lives when they're idiots on the road. What I'm trying to say is, to anyone who doesn't focus as often as they should, more road rules, less distractions. I don't want anyone to be foolish enough to get hurt, because of their own stupidity.

Especially considering the holidays are coming up. Not just any holidays, but, at the time of writing this post, Christmas! Lots of accidents seem to happen then, and some people won't see their family members again, if they're careless, or if others get drunk, distracted or high on drugs. Be safe this coming holiday season. Let it be a time for celebration, and happiness, instead of a time for mourning, and sadness because of someone else.
