Last week I took a bus trip down to Greektown Casino in Detroit. We came back in rush hour traffic which proved to be somewhat interesting. Traveling on I-75 in heavy traffic and looking down into the vehicles traveling alongside I saw NOT 1, but 3 drivers Texting While Driving. Texting in heavy traffic? What are these people thinking. Sorry to say they were all women. I can NOT believe that people do NOT realize how dangerous this behavior can be. DWI is still a huge problem even with all the enforcement and information out there, so how to stop Texting While Driving? I am sure many more people engage in this behavior then do Drinking While Driving and it is much harder to enforce. No easy answers here, except to keep up the campaigns against it and try to shame people from engaging in this behavior - everyone who travels on the roads has a stake in this problem.
