You've heard it before, don't drive in-text-icated.  And it makes perfect sense, but then why are so many of us still breaking the ethical rule and safety law?

I think we need more example-setters and less exception-makers. Can you be an example setter?  Can you and I make a pact - right here and now - not to touch our phones at all while we're in the car and it's turned on?

Seriously, that's a tough proposition.  But my son just turned one and he loves sitting on my lap and grabbing for my phone.  The few times I've let him have it I've watched very closely.  And you know what he does?  He puts his hands on it just like he sees my wife and I do... as if he's taking care of business!

Now let's take that example and apply it to texting and driving parents of soon-to-be-driving teens or really anyone... heck even the guy or gal driving next to you later today!  If more of us don't do it than more of us will follow that lead.

Click play below and hear the sad statistics of driving in-text-icated.  And let's all plan to not do it ever again.
